January 9, 2006 - Valve confirmed today that Half-Life 2: Aftermath, the official expansion to 2004's lauded and loved FPS sequel, will arrive April 24, 2006.
Simultaneously with Half-Life 2: Aftermath, Valve will release Half-Life 2: Platinum, a super-metallic bundle featuring Half-Life, Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Aftermath, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, Counter-Strike: Source, and Day of Defeat: Source.
Both titles will be available for purchase and download via Valve's Steam service, or as a standard boxed product -- distribution of which is being handled by Electronic Arts.
Aftermath takes place immediately following the events in Half-Life 2. You and Alyx must flee City 17, fighting creatures who were previous blocked from entering the city. The Citadel you assaulted is tumbling into chaos, and this event will have catastrophic effects on the surrounding area, prompting your escape. Both Alyx and Dog will each play a much more significant role.
