YouTube channel TeaserPlay has created yet another Unreal Engine 5 showcase video, with this one imagining what a Half-Life 2 remake could look like if it were built using Epic's latest engine. Valve first published the award-winning Half-Life 2 in 2004, with the landmark first-person shooter built using the company's Source engine. Since Half-Life 2's initial release, the game has been re-released on various platforms, but it has yet to receive an official, full-fledged remake.

It's unlikely that fans will get an official Half-Life 2 remake any time soon, if ever. Valve sells the original Half-Life 2 through its Steam marketplace, and it left the fan favorite franchise to lie dormant for years, infamously leaving the story on an unresolved cliffhanger. The VR game Half-Life: Alyx was the first new Half-Life game in 13 years when it launched, and while it earned widespread critical acclaim, it's safe to say that there are many fans who want to a more traditional entry in the series.

Valve may or may not ever create a traditional new Half-Life game, but in the meantime, fans can get an idea of what such a project might look like with modern graphics. TeaserPlay's latest Unreal Engine 5 showcase is all about Half-Life 2, recreating familiar locales and modernizing character models for characters like Gordan Freeman and the mysterious G-Man.

In the video, Half-Life 2 fans can see modernized designs for enemies, Gordan's crowbar, the Gravity Gun, and more. It's clear by the video that there would be some value in sprucing up Half-Life 2's graphics to better take advantage of modern hardware, but fans shouldn't hold their breath that anything official will be coming at any point in the near future.

It's unclear what new video game, if any, Valve is working on at the time of this writing. Its latest release was Aperture Desk Job, a spinoff of the Portal franchise that was built specifically with the company's new Steam Deck handheld in mind. Aperture Desk Job launched this past March, and Valve has not announced any video games that it may be making next.

While fans don't know the next new Valve game they'll get to play, they can at least look forward to an update of older release. It was recently announced that Portal is getting an RTX upgrade this November as free DLC to those that already own the game, which should vastly improve the graphics of the classic first-person puzzle game.

Half-Life 2 is available now for PC, PS3, Xbox, and Xbox 360.
