Take this with your usual scepticism, but it appears Valve are working on another new game (no not Deadlock that leaked previously) which may end up being Half-Life 3.

News comes thanks to a post on Reddit, that links to a certain actress's official website that notes they're doing Voice Over for "Project White Sands (video game)" from Valve on their résumé. Their website was later updated to remove the mention, but I've confirmed via the Internet Archive it was previously listed.

While it's not proof and it doesn't necessarily mean anything will actually release (Valve cancelled various games before release previously), clearly Valve are doing something interesting here at the moment. White Sands is the giveaway, since it's a U.S National Park based in New Mexico which is where the Black Mesa Research Facility is located. So uh, that's a pretty strong hint right? However, the name could also be a red herring to intentionally throw anyone off from potential leaks too.

It's also worth noting at this point that Half-Life: Alyx is currently 66% off until August 19th. It's been as low as that a couple of times before but it is still the lowest Valve has ever put it so far. Might be a good time to check it out if you haven't already, perhaps with the Half-Life Alyx NoVR mod if you don't have a VR headset. I won't spoil it, but it's an important game.

Data miner Tyler McVicker also covered it in a video going over some details.

Quoting: ArehandoroOh no, Valve now know how to count to 3. The end is nigh!!! /s

"Three, sir."

"THREE!"

It would be funny if they go straight to 4 and consider Alyx as 3. Never have a HL with a 3 in the title, still have a conclusion for the story (fingers crossed) and going all in with the meme.

Quoting: EhvisThere is only one thing we know for sure. It won't be called "Half-Life 3".

And turns out to be a remake of HL: Decay.

You must be a mind reader XD. If this were square it would be Half-Life Alyx: Episode 1.5

It's bizarre when I consider that Half Life 3 rumors have been with me my whole life. It's like a constant like death and taxes.

So they added me to the Deadlock beta. And out of respect for Valve I'm not going reveal anything, other than no it's not Half-Life 3 Episode 1 like we all joked earlier, and the game is totally awesome, gonna be a LAN room win -- I'm pretty sure Valve has a home-run and is going to make a lot of money which is typical for Valve always being awesome.

I guess you can suggest inviting other players too so maybe they'll expand the beta. It's definitely original.
