Half-Life 3 Rumors Hit Fever Pitch as Insider Seeks Specifics on Announcement Timing

Today is the 27th anniversary of Valve’s game, Half-Life, and it looks like something big is about to happen. A project called HLX – which many think is Half-Life 3 – has been the subject of a lot of rumors, and sources suggest an announcement could be coming soon, though the exact timing is still uncertain.

NateTheHate, a very trustworthy source of information this year, has recently shared that he’s heard about both HLX and Half-Life 3. He emphasized, though, that he’s still working to confirm the details and separate fact from speculation.

The timing of any potential announcement is uncertain, and previous information has been unreliable. One source suggested an announcement would happen today at noon, but that didn’t happen. The source won’t share any further details until they’re certain about the specifics and have confirmed information. Until then, they’re holding off on sharing anything about a possible reveal or release date.

This puts the pressure on Valve to finally share some news. It’s worth remembering that details about the Steam Deck (originally the Steam Machine and controller) were leaked before its official reveal, so a leak isn’t out of the question. However, considering how eagerly fans await Half-Life 3, it’s likely Valve is keeping this one under much tighter wraps.
