After years of silence, there’s finally new hope for Half-Life fans. A recent podcast revealed something exciting straight from inside Valve. Concept artist Evgeniy Evstratiy confirmed that a dedicated space for Half-Life 3 exists within the company.
New Hope for Half-Life Fans: Space for Half-Life 3 Confirmed at Valve
He stated that while he hasn’t directly seen them making the game, he did enter the room set up for its development. According to him, the room had computers, whiteboards, and tools meant for building the game. This is the clearest sign in years that Valve may be working on Half-Life 3 again.
This isn’t the first time fans have heard whispers of the game. Over the past two decades, there have been several rumors. In some cases, development was even started but later scrapped. Still, Evstratiy’s comments give the community something more concrete than past leaks.
Just before this podcast released, gaming insider Tyler McVicker made headlines as well. He said that developers have already placed Half-Life 3 in the final stages of development and will reveal it in 2025. McVicker has a history of accurate Valve-related leaks which makes his statements hard to dismiss.
With Evstratiy’s comments, McVicker’s claim becomes even more believable. Two separate sources with relations to Valve are corroborating each other. Which is more than enough to get longtime fans both excited—and cautious.
Valve’s last release was Half-Life: Alyx in 2020, which was a highly acclaimed, VR-exclusive prequel to the series. Despite its critical reception, many players have long anticipated a direct continuation of the series following the cliffhanger ending from 2007’s Half-Life 2: Episode Two.
So is this the moment we have all waited for? Although there hasn’t been any official claims announced, the signs are stronger than they have ever been, regardless if it’s announced in 2025 or not. At least one thing is clear—the dream isn’t dead.
