Arkane Studios’ cancelled Half-Life 2 spin-off Ravenholm has been shown off in a video published online, over a decade since its demise.
The footage was shared by Noclip – a YouTube channel making video game documentaries – yesterday (May 4), and it has multiple long chapters dedicated to the differing levels of the cancelled Ravenholm.As noted by Danny O’Dwyer, Noclip is able to show large pieces of footage due to a previous documentary where it visited Arkane Studios, and presents each clip with context.
The build of Ravenholm in the video below was put together towards the end of development in an effort to show Valve progress of the game, even though it wasn’t complete.Each stint of footage is scored with context from O’Dwyer, who explains that despite the player having a HEV suit, the Half-Life title wouldn’t have starred Gordon Freeman.
Arkane also developed Dark Messiah Of Might And Magic, which O’Dwyer notes had spells and kicks that could stagger enemies, with that mechanic being brought into Ravenholm.The footage also shows off some electricity mechanics, which seemed to operate somewhat similarly to Breath Of The Wild, where conduits can be placed to carry electricity currents from one point to another.Ravenholm, also known as Half-Life 2: Episode 4, was developed by Arkane between 2006 and 2007.
