It looks like we're going to have to wait a little longer than expected to find out what happens next to Gordon Freeman and his lovely cohort Alyx. It seems that Doug Lombardi of Valve Software has told CVG that Half-Life 2: Episode Two has been pushed back from an early 2007 release to the summer of 2007. This means delays for Team Fortress 2 and Portal as well, as both games are expected to ship with Episode Two. The original release date for Episode Two was the tail-end of this year. No official reason for the delay has been announced. A delay for the PC version of Episode Two most likely means a delay for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 Half-Life 2 releases as well, since Episode Two is supposed to be included in those versions. We tried to contact Valve for additional information but have yet to receive a reply.
