“Half-Life” was released to the PC back in 1998. Some six years later, “Half-Life 2” came out in the same gaming platform. But in 2007, “Half-Life 2: Episode 2” made it to the PC, the Mac OS X, the Linus, the Xbox 360, and the PlayStation 2 as part of Valve’s ‘The Orange Box.’
That being said, assuming “Half-Life 3” comes out within the next two to three years, it would be 13 to 14 years from the release of the last “Half-Life” game on the gaming consoles.
“Half-Life 3” made it to the leaked listing of Steam Database along with 12 other games including highly-anticipated and very popular games such as “Final Fantasy X/X-2 Remaster,” “Final Fantasy VI,” “Dragonronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc,” “Dragonronpa 2: Goodbye Despair,” and “Sonic Boom.”
However, since Valve Corporation has yet to issue a statement or announcement to either confirm or deny the leaked listing in the Steam Database, the information should be taken with a fine grain of salt.
Despite rumored leaks and hints about “Half-Life 3,” the game is still far from development. The statement came no less from Gabe Newell, co-founder of Valve Corporation.
In a recent statement issued by the Valve top honcho, he said that he was actually caught off guard by the level of interest of gamers on “Half-Life 3.” However, he said that the game is still not yet in development at this time or anytime soon.
