Half-Life 3 is “playable end-to-end.” Technology
The Verge • 1y ago

Half-Life 3 is “playable end-to-end.”

So says Tyler McVicker, a Valve watcher who held a Q&A session last week, answering questions about the development of the game. He says the game could be announced by this summer. While reporting McVicker’s video, Engadget noted other recent hints the game is actually happening, including a Valve concept artist claiming to have been present where development on the game took place, and Valve leaker Gabe Follower “signaling a non-cliffhanger ending” to the game.

Did Valve just confirm Half-Life 3 / HLX is real?

I feel like this is not how we would learn about such a thing — maybe he meant to say “Half-Life Alyx” — but you never know. Last year, Tyler McVicker (below) suggested the entire game was already playable end-to-end. Sounds like he’ll have extra scuttlebutt to share soon!
