Ny lekkasje antyder at Half-Life 3 slippes i år sammen med den nye Steam Machine

Valve’s Half-Life 3 is one of the most mysterious games out there, as reports have been circulating for decades that it is in development, yet no one knows when it will be officially released. The new report seems to be giving players and fans renewed hope.

Although Valve has yet to comment on the third installment of Half-Life, it seems the game is not a myth and actually exists. According to rumors, the official announcement of Half-Life 3 was set to happen at last year’s The Game Awards show, with the release expected simultaneously with the launch of Steam Machine. However, Valve has changed their plans due to uncertainty with high RAM prices.

Nevertheless, there is another report that comes from a Reddit leaker, which states that a Mann vs. Machine update for Team Fortress 2 is delayed, as Valve is reportedly concentrating on preparing for the announcement and release of Half-Life 3—which is scheduled for later this year. According to the source, the studio is “very busy with Half-Life 3 and the Steam Machine”, which is also viewed as the company’s “flagship product”. At last, he added that we should expect more news in the next few weeks.

Rumors about Half-Life 3 regularly surface online, and this isn’t the first time we’ve heard that the game is in active development. But it’s very, very hard to imagine that Half-Life 3 could be released this year—though fans would certainly be thrilled if it were.
