However, with the statement from Newell, it seems that the game would be in development eventually but it will not be happening anytime soon.
There have been reports a few months ago that a former employee of Valve confirmed that the game developer has calendared the development of “Half-Life 3” sometime in the future.
Based on the disclosure made by a supposed former employee of Valve Corporation, “Half-Life 3” will be released after the multiplayer zombie shooter video game, “Left 4 Dead 3” is finally rolled out to the video game retail markets.
Critics placed the possible release date for “Half-Life 3” as any time from the fourth quarter of 2017 up to the first quarter of 2018.
The revelations of the alleged former employee of Valve Corporation are a welcome relief to fans of “Half-Life 3” because it actually debunked previous rumors that the game will no longer be developed.
“Half-Life 2” was released way back in 2004, with its final installment having been released some three years later. If “Half-Life 3” is indeed to be released late in 2017 or early 2018, then fans and gamers must have waited between 13 to 14 years for its next installment to arrive.
