Here's another reason why you shouldn't get your hopes up for the next Half-Life instalment: A developer from Valve reportedly confirmed the existence of the unannounced Half-Life project! So you can be sure that the long awaited sequel (if we are to believe in this news) is still cooking and under wraps. Also, since the confirmation happened due to an internal slip up, and not in an official marketing or promotional strategy, you can be assured of the ambiguity around the time frame for all the interested buyers/fans.
Insider slip confirms sequel is in development with no release date
The confirmed fact: There is a unannounced Half-Life project going on! The famous Half-life IPs are from Valve. We don't know any specifications about the project like game's platform, release date, gameplay etc.
The confirmation comes in the form of a slip from a developer who happens to let the cat out of the bag while talking about the project. So we don't have any hard facts on whether this is a full fledged sequel or a side project.
The only thing we know for sure from the news is that there is an unannounced Half-Life project. Source says that the developer slip up is the confirmation, meaning it wasn't supposed to be announced publicly. Now, since it's unannounced, we don't have any specifications or price or when it's going to be available to us. And since we don't have access to any official sources, expect any further details to be nothing but rumours, until the day Valve itself has something to share.
We've been pretty busy with Half-Life lately! You remember the Valve 12TB Leak Sparks Half-Life 3 speculation. The news was about various leaks related to hardware that sparked speculations from the community about how big the sequel might be!
Now that we've got the confirmation that this is still happening, at least as far as the internal story goes, we are still unclear on hardware details and release strategies. Also, this doesn't necessarily mean that Valve itself acknowledges the connection between that leak and the developer's slip up.
Okay! So the confirmed fact: There's an unannounced Half-Life project and it was acknowledged by a developer from Valve. Since it was a slip up, we can't be sure that the company itself has acknowledged and detailed about the work on this project.
So don't expect any immediate impact on the release schedule or platform availability at the moment, given this news. It's still under wraps until Valve reveals it formally.
