The “Half-Life 2: Remastered Collection” is a continuation of an older mod. Back in 2015, Filip Victor releasedHalf-Life 2: Updatefor free on Steam. It’s a subtle upgrade of HL2, with a “complete lighting overhaul including enhanced lighting, more detailed world shadows, and full high dynamic range lighting (HDR).” A few bugs have been fixed in the interim, and an extensive commentary track using well-known YouTubers was included as well. It didn’t change how the game played, just how it looked.
According to@SteamDB, the team that brought us Half-Life 2: Update is working on a further update and remaster of HL2 & the Episodes, with Valve’s consent.The Half-Life 2: Remastered Collection is coming soon to Steam.https://t.co/5YTjhpS2ud— Tyler McVicker (@Tyler_McV)July 29, 2021

It was known that Filip was working on a similar mod for game’s episodic content, and he commentedearlier this yearthat “The new version will put hl2update/episodes to shame. But sry no release date tho.” So this new mod is essentially a remaster of a remaster.
It’ll probably be a largely visual overhaul of Half-Life 2 and its episodes, but not aBlack Mesahead-to-tentacle do-over. It should have elements from Valve’s newer engine work, including their slicker Panorama UI that was added toCS:GOin 2018.
