According to new rumors, the heavily rumored Half-Life 3 may still show up, but as a Steam Machine launch title. Half-Life fans have been asking for a sequel to the acclaimed Half-Life 2 for over a decade, to the point that Half-Life 3's existence (or lack thereof) itself became a meme on social media. Fans have been seeing signs pointing to a third chapter in the series everywhere, and eventually, they were all debunked by the repeated absence of Half-Life 3 in major gaming events and showcases.
The rumors of the third installment's existence and upcoming first look have been ramping up for a few weeks now, and it was expected that Half-Life 3 would show up at The Game Awards 2025, but it didn't. This is arguably the best place for upcoming reveals of video games, as it's one of the most anticipated events in the industry, possibly the single most important. As such, not showing up at TGA 2025 could be another nail in Half-Life 3's coffin, but new rumors reaffirm that the game is indeed real and that it will be a launch title for Valve's upcoming Steam Machine....
