Valve Developer Mistakenly Mentions Rumored Half-Life 3 Codename
A Valve developer mistakenly slipped up and made mention of Half-Life 3's long rumored codename during a recent conference.
During a recent Q&A panel at GameSoundCon, Valve's music designer, Mike Morasky, accidentally mentioned the rumored codename for Half-Life 3. Fans have long speculated about the possibility of a sequel to Half-Life, with hopes reignited by the cliffhanger ending of Half-Life: Alyx. Various dataminers have found references to a project called HLX in Valve's files, leading to speculation that it could be Half-Life 3.
Valve has acknowledged the existence of HLX, though they didn't do so intentionally. This slip-up by Morasky has sparked excitement among fans, who believe it confirms that the project is still in development at Valve. While it's uncertain when (or if) Half-Life 3 will be announced or released, the recent confirmation has given fans renewed hope for the long-awaited installment.
