Early this month, the company website showed a logo and a teaser poster for “Half Life 3.” But when fans and gamers started checking out the website as a result of the news that a tease of the game has been made on Valve’s site, the company took down the poster and the logo, leaving many fans in dismay.
But the resourceful fans and gamers apparently have found an interesting bug. When a user types valve.software on a browser, the page actually loads and the words ‘Maybe next year’ will appear before getting redirected to the Valve website.
Somehow, it seems to be a hint that “Half Life 3” will be released next year although an official pronouncement or statement has yet to come directly from Valve to either confirm or deny this.
Eventually, Valve came out last week to deny that it made the tease on its website, referring to it instead as the possible work of the more intelligent and tech savvy “Half Life” game enthusiasts.
Previous to the exploits on the Valve website, rumors also surfaced recently about the development of “Half Life 3” because of the appearance of what was believed to be the logo for the game.
The image went viral and rumors of the possible game release hyped up the “Half Life” fans before Valve shoot it down again by saying that it has not release any logo for the game.
