As a gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the news about Half-Life 3 being in development has sent a wave of excitement through the gaming community. Having lived through the cliffhanger ending of Half-Life 2: Episode Two back in 2007, I’ve been eagerly waiting for any sign of progress on this front.
Recent leaks and numerous job listings hint that a new Half-Life game (possibly Half-Life 3) might be under development at Valve Software. As stated by Gabe Newell, a YouTuber known for his deep interest in Valve games, there’s solid evidence pointing towards the existence of Half-Life X as an authentic project.
For those who may have forgotten or consciously avoided thinking about it, the 2007 release of Half-Life 2: Episode Two left fans in suspense with an agonizing cliffhanger and yearning for more content. Since then, Valve has been dropping hints and playing coy about a potential third installment, yet never fully confirming its existence.
But according to Gabe Follower’s deep dives, HLX might finally be what we’ve been waiting for.
In a 15-minute long video, he shared the results of his work on HLX, a clandestine initiative that was initiated shortly following the release of Half-Life: Alyx, which has been under development for close to five years now.
Gabe Follower notes that Valve has stealthily recruited some highly skilled professionals – modders, recent graduates, and seasoned gaming industry experts. These accomplished individuals, who previously contributed to popular games such as Doom, Fortnite, and Red Dead Redemption, have been subtly suggesting their participation in projects via online platforms.
Last year, I noticed that Valve started tinkering with their code. As a dedicated fan, it seemed like Gabe Newell was sharing some intriguing updates: they were scrubbing “HLVR” (Half-Life VR) references and swapping them with the new moniker “HLX.
Additionally, recent leaks seem to indicate improvements to the Source 2 engine, suggesting potential features such as dynamic weather, novel vehicles, and enhanced NPC interactions. Gabe Newell, a follower, points out that Valve has a history of concealing sequels under code names – similar to how they disguised “L4DX” for what is presumed to be Left 4 Dead 3.
According to Gabe Follower, the updates made to Source 2 suggest that Valve’s technology might be capable of handling complex tasks for the first time. In the past, their tech struggled – early prototypes for Half-Life 3 were abandoned due to engine constraints. However, it now seems they are prepared to innovate and break new ground.
According to a follower’s assessment, Valve seems to be keeping its plans secret but preparing for something substantial. It might be the much-anticipated sequel or another skillfully designed hint. Regardless, the clues are piling up, making it difficult not to feel energized.
