Half-Life 3 Rumors: Real Hype or False Hope?

Why Has Everyone Started Sharing Like Half-Life 3 Is Coming When There Is Not Even the Slightest Announcement Regarding Its Future?

Half-Life 3 has been one of the most anticipated games for years, and social media has been seriously buzzing in recent days. But will the game really be introduced soon, or is it all just a series of rumors? Half-Life fans are once again caught up in great excitement on social media. Even the Half-Life subreddit is boiling over with both hopeful and mocking posts.

The reason, as you can guess, is again related to Half-Life 3. Although there has been almost no solid evidence for days that the new game will be announced, the internet is once again burning with the “HL3 confirmed” fever. So, what is the source of this hype?

This time, there is no major leak or reliable clue. The “evidence” on which the excitement is based is as follows:

  • Half-Life: Alyx was announced on November 18, 2019… Today is also November 18.
  • Half-Life 1 was released on November 19, and Half-Life 2 on November 16… So does this mean a November tradition?
  • And finally, the 👀 emoji posted by Geoff Keighley

But a New Half-Life Might Really Be Coming

Although expecting an announcement today is overly optimistic, many people think Valve is working on a new Half-Life.

  • Special celebrations for Half-Life 2’s anniversary last year.
  • Gabe Newell‘s slight implication that “there is still work to be done in the series.”
  • Half-Life: Alyx’s finale leaving the door open for a new game.
  • Also, it would be a logical move for Valve to prepare a special game for the expected Steam Frame VR and the new Steam Machine. This naturally fuels Half-Life 3 rumors.

Valve’s Unpredictability Makes Everything Even More Mysterious

Valve sometimes notifies the press in advance, sometimes quietly shares a blog post in the evening, and sometimes releases new games directly to the market without saying anything. Likewise, Deadlock is the latest example of this: The game was being discussed by test players on the subreddit even before Valve announced it, but this time there is no reliable leak. There is also no serious information about the status of the new Half-Life.

In Short, Everything Right Now Consists of Rumors

Maybe Valve will really make a big surprise this time. Or maybe the internet, caught up in the magic of November, has created excitement on its own again. This is exactly what is called “Valve Time“… The company does whatever it wants, whenever it wants.
