Alleged concept art for Half-Life 2: Episode 3 has surfaced, revealing various forms of Alyx Vance -- wearing Eli Vance's vest and sporting long hair -- a snowy setting, and a crashed helicopter. In addition, an image with floating platforms and psychedelic imagery shows a world suspiciously similar to Xen, the alternate dimension from the end of the first Half-Life.The uncovered art also gives us a look at what appears to be a Combine in arctic gear, some generic dudes in coats, and a Combine Advisor. There are also numerous instances of Soviet imagery. You'll note a distinct lack of Gordon Freeman and Dog in these scenes with a lonely Alyx.IGN has asked Valve about the legitimacy of the art, which apparently dates back to 2008, shortly after Episode Two 's release.Source: ValveTime via GamesRadar
