The post also details an early purchase bonus for fans wanting to pick up Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition. Players who purchase or pre-purchase Windows Edition prior to May 1 on Steam will get themselves the Half-Life DLC pack. The pack will let fans suit up in Gordon Freeman’s legendary black and orange number from the critically-acclaimed series. It even comes with his glasses, too! The Half-Life pack will also be usable in the game’s multiplayer expansion, Comrades.

Exactly why Half-Life DLC, we’re not entirely sure. However, it’s sure to get the rumor mill churning away about Half-Life 3 again.

Final Fantasy XV initially released on PS4 and Xbox One back in Nov. 2016. We thoroughly enjoyed our road trip with Noctis and the boys, though found the AI to be a little problematic. You can check out our full thoughts here.
