Valve has confirmed withShacknewsthat one of the best values in gaming,Half-Life 2: The Orange Box, will be shipping on June 25, 2025. For those who’ve been too busy coddling their plush Master Chief toys to care,The Orange Boxis a behemoth of a product, a dream collection that sounds like a coked up fanboy’s imagination gone wild.

Packed in will be the originalHalf-Life 2, last year’sHalf-Life: Episode One, as well as the the brand new chapter,Half-Life: Episode Two. As if that wasn’t enough, Valve will be throwing in the all-newTeam Fortress 2and the cooler-than-heck DigiPen student project turned all fancy,Portal.
