Summary

[edit | edit source]

The digital book The Final Hours of Half-Life Alyx (2020) mentioned "a top-secret new project that another small team at Valve has been working on since the first part of 2018".[1]

References to Citadel in other Valve games were first discovered by dataminers in 2019.[2] It was speculated to be a multiplayer team-based shooter set in the Half-Life universe, named after the Combine Citadel from Half-Life 2. It was also speculated to feature asymmetrical VR-desktop gameplay.[3]

Yoshi shared gameplay footage of an early Citadel prototype build that used Half-Life: Alyx and Left 4 Dead 2 assets.[4]

The two teams in Citadel initially were named Team Nick and Team Coach, after the characters from Left 4 Dead 2.
