Unless It Was Just A Glitch.

Story Highlight
  • The Half-Life 3 reveal is suspected to be just around the corner by a massive Steam page update by Valve.
  • The publisher’s Steam page shows that there is another upcoming entry that is coming soon besides Deadlock. 
  • The page was apparently updated on December 29, but take the findings with a pinch of salt.

Half-Life 3 is arguably one of the most awaited releases in the entirety of the gaming industry—and for all the good reasons. Valve has managed to build a lot of hype regarding the next entry in the popular franchise without revealing any information at all.

However, the publisher might have finally let us in on an unexpected, albeit completely accidental, official update.

Valve’s Steam page was updated to suggest the studio is cooking up two upcoming releases. One of these games is Deadlock, but the other is not listed anywhere at all.

Now, fans think this mystery title is Half-Life 3, based on all the rumors that have been circulating since last year.

Why it matters: An update for Valve’s Steam page confirms that there are two upcoming releases by the publisher. One of them is Deadlock; the other is suspected to be Half-Life 3 based on previous rumors.

The publisher’s Steam page was allegedly updated after December 29 to show that there are 2 upcoming titles instead of only Deadlock, according to the Wayback Machine. This massive mishap could just be a glitch, as many have argued.

Some Half-Life 3 fans argue that this update is intentional and Valve deliberately altered the ‘upcoming releases’ tab. This theory is supported because the studio should have fixed the Steam page if it was just an error.

Previously, an insider claimed Half-Life 3 features gravity manipulation, water physics, dismemberment, and mesh shaders for the game and is already in the closed early playtesting stage.

Needless to say, it is best to take the new update on Valve’s publisher Steam page update with a pinch of salt.
