2LP Orange w Black Splatter vinyl
Ipecac Recordings (2026) WW
VALVE video games and IPECAC RECORDINGS have a partnership that dates back almost 15 years when we released the PORTAL 2 soundtracks. Since then, there's been releases of some of the biggest video game soundtracks out there including TEAM FORTRESS 2, DOTA 2 and the entire HALF-LIFE series. These have been some of Ipecac best selling physical and digital releases on the label.
HALF-LIFE: ALYX was originally released digitally as a series of 11 chapters from 2020-2022, and the physical release brings those together in two different formats:
4CD fold-out digipak featuring all 72 songs from the series
2LP Gatefold 180gr Vinyl featuring 21 songs selected by the composer, as well as a download card with all 72 songs. There's a different cover, than the CD, plus a 24x36 fold-out poster. The Standard variant is Black with Orange Splatter and the Indie Store variant is Orange with Black Splatter.
The HL:A game itself has sold over 2MM copies since 2020 and had added to the Half-Life series of games that has sold over 30MM copies.
