After all this time, we may finally be getting Half-Life 3. It\u2019s been difficult to pinpoint what Valve\u2019s been up to over the past few years due to an unannounced project, Deadlock. But, with leaked gameplay footage and several creators talking about it, its existence is all but confirmed by Valve as a multiplayer, MOBA-like shooter. With information about Deadlock now more widespread than ever, picking up the pieces and figuring out what is and isn\u2019t related to that game is a bit easier for dataminers. According to prominent Valve leaker\/dataminer Tyler McVicker, Half-Life 3 may be in development. A mix of publicly posted information from actors and former employees, as well as datamined enemy types, have made for strong indicators that Half-Life is coming back. An actress involved with the project put a reference to \u201cProject White Sands,\u201d a game from Valve that doesn\u2019t match any prior datamined codenames for Deadlock. The credit they put in their resume has since been deleted, however. This coincides with a resume from a former employee at Valve who worked on level design for an \u201cunnanounced\u201d Valve project that included \u201clayouts, lighting, combat encounters, and puzzles\u201d. Additionally, their resume noted that they worked on the game from 2020-2023, meaning it may have been in development for years. Considering that Deadlock is a MOBA-like multiplayer title, the description of puzzles and combat encounters doesn\u2019t match that sort of gameplay style. Not to mention McVicker\u2019s datamining revealing some Xen enemies and an HEV suit. File names indicate Xen Jellyfish, Xen Gorillas, Swoopers, Pentatanks, Feral Manhacks and more could be included in the game, though we don\u2019t have any indication as to what these enemies look like. Regardless, it\u2019s the most solid news we\u2019ve had on a new Half-Life entry yet. Though this could be another spinoff in Valve\u2019s pursuit to never once count to three, there\u2019s also a chance this is the Half-Life 3 people have wanted for almost two decades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Half-Life 3 may finally be in development according to Valve leaks ValveBetween a mix of Valve leaks and data mining, it\u2019s been revealed that a title named HLX\/Project White Sands is in development.
