Cue a new batch of Half-Life 3 confirmed memes. The latest rumor surrounding Valves long-awaited next installment in the Half-Life series claims that the game is currently playable, end-to-end and could even be announced in the summer, followed by a release in winter of this year. The speculation comes from Tyler McVicker, whos known for reporting on Valve rumors, during his latest Q&A livestream. According to McVicker, the game is currently playable from beginning to end, which he guesses could put it on track for an announcement and release this year.
Besides McVickers hours-long livestream, there have been other recent hints about Valves progress on its highly anticipated title. In March, Valve concept artist Evgeniy Evstratiy claimed that he was in the room where Valve made Half-Life 3 on CG Voices Podcast. In the same month, another Valve leaker, Gabe Follower, claimed that Half-Life 3 would be the end of Gordons adventure, potentially signaling a non-cliffhanger ending to one of gamings best franchises. Outside of these rumors, internet sleuths discovered code referencing HLX, which is widely thought to be the codename for Half-Life 3, in major updates to Deadlock and Dota 2.
While these rumors are unconfirmed, they are promising signs of life for Half-Life 3. McVicker said during his livestream that the HLX project wont be another virtual reality game like Half-Life: Alyx and that there are procedural generation features that arent for terrain generation or roguelike mechanics. Before you get your hopes up, remember that Half-Life 2 recently celebrated its 20-year anniversary, and we still dont have any official confirmation from Valve about a follow-up game.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/half-life-3-is-reportedly-playable-in-its-entirety-and-could-be-announced-this-year-183030499.html?src=rss
