Recently, a string of rumors have pointed to a potential 2025 release.
That tweet was in December but acted as manna for those still wandering the desert searching for Half-Life 3.
What’s new
Allegedly, the Steam developer has been bringing friends and family for playtesting.
For example, if the player is close, the NPC might flinch from explosions or warn allies.
It could also refer to the Houndeye from the first game and its soundwave attack.
Also, if Half-Life 3 comes out, it will end Gordon Freeman’s adventures.
“This game will be a farewell gift to the community.”
No cliffhangers, an end to the actual trilogy.
Valve has a famously open-ended development process where things can get quickly dumped if they aren’t developing correctly.
So, take all of this with a grain of salt.
Perhaps Half-life 3 is coming; most likely it isn’t it.
I won’t believe it until it’s actually in mySteam Library.
