Half Life 3 confirmed
Half-Life 2: Episode Three, the third and final installment of the Half-Life 2 episodes, was expected to follow soon after Episode Two, as Valve had stated that they aimed to release a new episode every six to eight months. However, as of March 2023, three pieces of concept art are all Valve have shown of the sequel. Since then, Valve has released ten other games.
On November 18, 2019, 12 years after the release of Half-Life 2: Episode Two and the day before the 21st anniversary of the release of the original Half-Life, Valve announced Half-Life: Alyx, a virtual reality video game set in the Half-Life universe, where you play as Alyx Vance in the aftermath of the Combine invasion on earth, before the events of Half-Life 2. On November 21 the first trailer for the game was released and the game became available for pre-purchase. According to lead programmer David Speyrer, in an interview with the video game magazine The Verge released the same day, Half-Life: Alyx is "the next part of the Half-Life story," and says that they recommend playing through Half-Life 2: Episode Two beforehand.
Prior to Alyx's announcement, leaks suggest that Valve abandoned the episodic model and was working on a full sequel entitled Half-Life 3, but Valve employees consistently refused to comment on the status or nature of the next Half-Life game, much to the displeasure of their fanbase. Despite general satisfaction with the games Valve has made since Episode Two, the Half-Life 3 continues to be their most anticipated title, and since the long-awaited release of Duke Nukem Forever in 2011, it has become gaming's most infamous case of continuing vaporware.
In an interview with Geoff Keighley (author of The Final Hours of Portal 2 and The Final Hours of Half-Life 2), Half-Life: Alyx's developers remained coy on the subject of whether Half-Life: Alyx could bridge the gap towards a virtual reality-based Half-Life 3, noting they would have to see how Half-Life: Alyx was received.
Half-Life 3 Confirmed is a catchphrase associated with the rumored announcement of the fifth installment in the popular Half-Life franchise developed by Valve. Since the release of Half-Life 2: Episode 2 in October 2007, fans have long anticipated the next installment in the franchise, which over time lead to numerous intentionally fake theories that have little to nothing to do with the games, alongside various stories which claim the release of the game to be coincident with The Rapture
Valve's Half-Life franchise started on November 19th, 1998, and was as well the debut title of Valve Software. On November 16, 2004, Valve released Half-Life 2, the sequel to the original game. This was followed by Half-Life 2: Episode One on June 1, 2006, and Half Life 2: Episode Two on October 10, 2007. Originally, Valve intended to release the episodes 6 months apart. Instead, Episode Two was released over a year after Episode One, and Half-Life 2: Episode Three, which was supposed to follow 6 months after Episode 2, has been delayed indefinitely. Following the release of Episode 2, in an exclusive interview with StuffWeLike.com on December 12, 2007, Valve marketing director, Doug Lombardi stated that a third entry in the main Half-Life series would happen following the end of the Episodes. The interview was reported on the next day by SK-Gaming in a piece titled "Half-Life 3 confirmed". The following day a second piece titled "Half-Life 3 confirmed" was posted on the site Team Rebellion.
Since the episode's announcement in 2006, and the release of a number of concept art images in 2008 (shown above), there have been a number of rumours and hoaxes regarding the supposed announcement of a release date for Episode Three, all of which have been denied by Valve.
Spread
Prior to large gaming events, such as the Electronic Entertainment Expo, speculations on the announcement of Half-Life 3 are often made surrounding Valve's presentation during the events, which are commonly later debunked by various gaming websites as it becomes clear the sequel won't appear during the event.
In early August of 2012, numerous rumors were released which speculated that Valve was working on a new gaming engine. This was later confirmed during a visit of 4chan's /v/ (videogames) board at Valve in celebration of Gabe Newell's 50th birthday (shown below) in early November of the same year. Both the rumors and the confirmation on the new engine lead to various websites speculating it to be the reason Half-Life 3 was delayed numerous times, such as VG 24/7, Joystiq, Eurogamer, Trusted Reviews and Now Gamer.
