Adding fuel to the previous rumors of a Half-Life 2 expansion pack in the works, comes word from the UK version of PC Gamer that an expansion pack is, in fact, in the works. An interview with Valve designer Robin Harper and writer Marc Laidlaw sheds a bit of light on the work in progress expansion.
Update: According to this week's news update from Valve, a sneak peak will be shown next week for the upcoming episode.
As Harper asserts in the PCG interview, the rationale is for the player to get a much greater sense of attachment to Alyx, after doing so much to introduce her in Half-Life 2: "It's kind of ironic that despite so much of the theme of Half Life 2 being about other characters and other people, you spent most of the game alone."The expansion may only be released via Steam, is said to start in the time period following the end of Half-Life 2, and will push for a stronger focus on Alyx throughout the game.
