For nearly two decades at this point, fans of the legendaryHalf Lifefranchise have been clamoring for a continuation of the story withHalf Life 3. Valve’s silence on the issue, mixed with the series’ iconic status, has turned the much-requested sequel into one of the most enduring and popular memes in the gaming landscape.
Over the years, fans have tried to scrape as much evidence as possible they can find about the next entry, even keeping an eye on the company’s trademarks. Sadly, players found nothing, and the game remained elusive. However, speculation aroundHalf Life 3has reignited as new rumors have surfaced online confirming the title’s existence.
Half Life 3 Details Revealed By Reputable Content Creator
Gabe Follower, one of the most content creators when it comes to Valve games, hasnow claimed thatHalf Life 3is pretty much real. The creator spent over three years datamining and working on figuring out if the company is finally crafting the title.
Forget Half Life 3, a 20th Anniversary Re-Release of Half Life 2 Could Possibly Be On the Way
The creatorpostedhis findings on X/Twitter today regarding claims that the third entry is real. He claimed that the nextHalf Lifegame might be a semi-open world title, with a weather system and a day and night cycle in which NPCs can interact with you.
[Rumor]According to Gabe Follower who datamined stuff in the past, ‘Half Life 3’ is real and it features a semi open-world, Day&Night cycle, smart npcs that can talk to you and a weather system.https://t.co/jP425Lnkkipic.twitter.com/F17bGLDuIg
In his video, Gabe Follower asserts that all the previous hints thatHalf Life 3is on its way are much clearer now withDeadlock‘s arrival on the scene, which is a brand new hero shooter MOBA by the company. The studio is also allegedly working on improving Source 2 with new advancements to handle the nextHalf Lifegame.
The fact that Deadlock exists as its own thing has allowed the insider to conclude whether or not gaming projects mentioned in various LinkedIn and other profiles are connected to something separate from the MOBA, which is the next Half Life.
Though Gabe Follower is convinced that the nextHalf Lifegame is coming, players aren’t hopeful as they’ve been baited by such arguments for years at this point.
No man. We aren’t doing this. We can’t go through this again. My heart can’t take it
We can’t forget the fact that all of this is just pure speculation. However, one thing is certain is that Valve is certainly working on developing something aside from Deadlock. Given how frequentlyHalf Life 3is hinted, it might just be it.
However, the third entry has been avoiding us for 17 years at this point, so it’s crucial to keep our hopes in check.
Is Gordon Returning in the Next Half Life Game?
While we’re amid a full-blownHalf Life 3hysteria, there’s another twist in the tale as file names identified in a recent data mine by leaker Tyler McVicker were switched by the company, possibly to deflect suspicion about the next entry.

One of the file names referencing Gordon Freeman’s iconic HEV suit was apparently changed to‘Burbank Suit.’A couple of new lines in the code were also identified, including references to shifting of gravity and Houndeyes.
If Gordon Freeman is linked with the next game, as the now Burbank suit would hint, it can’t be anything other than a mainline game that would carry on Gordon’s story from the firstHalf Lifethrough the second game. It could be someone, but that’s now how Gabe Newell likes to do things!
