The older version ends immediately prior to the 'Xen' segment: the developers have stated the 2012 version will never have this content released (though another fan group made an unofficial mod for the mod to add it). Alongside other additions, this version had the chapter 'Surface Tension' expanded in 2016, featuring some maps that were omitted from the original release. It began in 2004 when it became clear Valve's own game Half-Life: Source would be a port of the original rather than a full remake as some had speculated, and after many delays and some legal issues, Black Mesa was released on September 14, 2012.Īn enhanced version by the same name, using the 2013 version of Source as opposed to the original 2007 version, and including Deathmatch mode which the original release omitted, was released on Steam Greenlight on May 5th 2015. Black Mesa (formerly Black Mesa: Source) is a fan project aiming to produce an enhanced version of classic FPS Half-Life in the latest version of the Source engine originally created by Valve for Half-Life 2.
