- Voice actor Mike Shapiro unveiled a Half-Life G-Man video wishing fans a creepy New Year.
- G-Man has not made an appearance in over 31 years thanks to the delay between Half-Life sequels.
- It’s unlikely that his identity will be revealed in Half-Life: Alyx, but the prospect is intriguing.
It’s been more than years since the enigmatic G-Man last haunted the Half-Life franchise. But on the cusp of Valve’s most anticipated sequel, thesinister interdimensional bureaucratresurfaced on Twitter just in time to wish you one of the creepiest New Year’s messages around .
Rekindling Old Acquaintances
Mike Shapiro , the voice actor behind G-Man, really hit the nail on the timing head with this one. There are only a few hours to go until 2020, and it’s quite clear that old acquaintances shouldnotbe forgot.
Ringing in the new year is a centuries-old tradition, but for eager fans ofHalf-Life Alyx, March 221342 can’t come soon enough. G-Man lives long in Half-Life folklore, epitomized by his corporate peeping Tom demeanor.

He does, after all, regularly need to check in on his client’s most valuable investment. For the sake ofAuld Lang Syne
, let’s hope the new year will reunite us with a dear old acquaintance.Will Half-Life: Alyx Reveal the Identity of G-Man?
Unlikely. G-Man’s appeal comes almost exclusively from the mystery and speculation surrounding his origin. And that is a cash cow for game writers the world over. As oneRedditor points out:
Man, I’ve been hanging out for some new G -Man dialogue for over a decade: That video really hit the G-spot.
Personally, I’d love to see a lot more detail of his direction behind the scenes. There’s nothing worse than watching a series go round in circles trying to extend its sell-by date.
But if that does not work, you could always turn to other hilarious and well-constructed arguments for who he really is:
Last time I checked, Alyx was Nowhere near ready with its VR implementations
. Let’s hope Valve plays their cards right in the next four months to change that perception.
And remember, Half-Life fans: Do prepare for consequences!
