Half-Life 2: November 16
After months of speculation, Vivendi announces that Half-Life 2 has officially gone gold and will be on shelves in less than one month.
Days after last week's Rumor Control brought news that Half-Life 2 had gone gold and was being sent off to Vivendi Universal for approval and manufacture, the publisher confirmed that the game has gone gold and announced, finally, its release date: November 16.
What's more, VU Games announced that it will ship localized versions of Half-Life 2 simultaneously around the world. English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Korean, Thai and Japanese versions of the hotly anticipated first-person shooter will all ship on November 16.
Gamers have been able to purchase Half-Life 2 through developer Valve's Steam downloading service since last week. Those who choose to purchase the game at brick-and-mortar stores will have the option of picking up the Half-Life 2 Collector's Edition that includes Half-Life 2 in DVD-ROM format, Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life: Source, a free limited edition t-shirt, and a Half-Life 2 strategy guide from Prima.
