Valve’s Steam Store Page Lists Unannounced Game as Upcoming Release – Rumours

Valve, known for keeping its upcoming projects under wraps, subtly hints at what it might be developing when suspicion arises. A fresh lineup of projects found on Valve’s Steam platform has sparked much curiosity and anticipation among fans.

Reddit user Relevant_Basis5444 noticed an anomaly on Valve’s Steam page suggesting that there might be another unannounced game in addition to “Deadlock” in development at Valve. In a post on Reddit, Relevant_Basis5444 pointed out that the Steam Page shows 2 upcoming releases, even though only “Deadlock” is visible to regular users.

Instead of attributing it solely to a mistake on the Steam page, it might also signal that Valve could be preparing to launch another game.

Regarding the company being Valve, there’s a lot of buzz surrounding the prospect of a fresh installment in the popular series, Half-Life. Frequent discussions have centered around the potential development of a sequel to Half-Life 2: Episode 2, with many fans speculating about Valve’s plans for new games. Despite the company predominantly working on multiplayer titles since then, this focus has not managed to dampen the speculation surrounding new releases.

Following the launch of VR-exclusive “Half-Life: Alyx”, which was Valve’s last significant single-player game, they have been busy with various projects. These include continued updates for “Dota 2” and “Counter-Strike 2”, as well as the recent alpha testing phase of the hybrid shooter MOBA game, “Deadlock”.

The video game “Half-Life: Alyx,” a prequel to “Half-Life 2,” has sparked considerable conjecture due to its conclusion, which carries significant weight for the entire “Half-Life” universe and particularly the ending previously established in “Half-Life 2: Episode 2.”

Although Valve has been typically secretive, whispers dating back a few years suggested that the company wasn’t working on a new Half-Life game, but rather was pouring all of its resources into the development of the Steam Deck at that time. In 2020, leaks emerged revealing several abandoned projects from Valve, such as Half-Life 3 and even Left 4 Dead 3.

Lately, Valve has been continuously refining and improving their upcoming multiplayer competitive game titled Deadlock. Fusing elements of hero shooters and MOBAs, Deadlock sets two teams against each other with the objective of destroying the opponent’s base. Although the game is still in development stages, it receives regular updates and patches for balance adjustments.
