The dream of an entire generation of gamers could be closer to coming true. After years of silence from Valve, a new rumor has reignited excitement around Half-Life 3, one of the most anticipated sequels in video game history. The information comes from content creator Tyler McVicker, known for previously leaking internal project information from the studio.

According to his version, Gabe Newell’s company is finalizing the details of the official trailer, with the goal of showcasing it in November. While there’s no official confirmation, the source insists that the announcement is much closer than the community expected.

Valve could present Half-Life 3 with a launch close to the announcement

The most interesting aspect of the rumor is the strategy Valve would follow with this project. McVicker claims that the company is actively working on the announcement trailer and that the game’s launch would follow shortly after, replicating the communication model used for Half-Life: Alyx. The idea is to avoid a prolonged wait between the announcement and the game’s release, something uncommon in the current industry.

The leaker adds that this approach reflects Valve’s way of working, only showing projects when they’re in a very advanced stage. Although there are no details on platforms or exact release dates, the mere fact that the company is preparing promotional material has been enough to set off all the alarms among fans. For now, all that’s left is to wait and see if November will finally be the month when Half-Life 3 stops being a myth.
