Half-Life 3 May Finally Be Revealed in 2025, Insider Claims
Good news for Half-Life fans: a reputable insider suggests that Valve could officially announce Half-Life 3 in 2025. This comes after years of speculation and fan hopes for a true sequel to the legendary Half-Life series.
Half-Life, released in 1998, is often considered one of the greatest first-person shooters of all time. After its sequel, Half-Life 2 (2004), and two episodes, fans were left waiting for Half-Life 3, which was never released. While Half-Life: Alyx (2020) revived interest in the franchise, the long-awaited third installment remained a mystery.
Insider Gabe Follower, known for reliable Valve leaks, claims that Half-Life 3 is already being playtested by a small group, with the possibility of an official reveal in 2025. Additionally, recent Valve hiring activity, including new developers with ties to the Half-Life series, supports the notion that the game is actively in development.
Despite this excitement, fans should remain cautious. While the rumors are promising, there’s no guarantee of the game’s release. However, there are signs that Valve hasn’t forgotten the franchise: Half-Life 2 saw a surge in players recently, possibly fueled by its free promotion and the game’s 20th anniversary. A recent patch also fixed several technical issues, showing Valve’s ongoing support for the series.
As of now, fans will have to wait for more official updates, but the hope for Half-Life 3 is alive and well.
