History

Historical Context

In November 1998 Valve launched Half-Life, a first-person shooter whose scripted, first-person storytelling reshaped the genre. Its success—over 9 million copies sold by 2008 and a VR sequel in 2020—spurred a pattern of reviving legacy franchises. Following that trend, Telltale Games, Creative Assembly, Nightdive Studios and genDesign announced 2026 sequels and remasters, showing publishers now bank on established IPs for steady profit.
