RELATED: Half-Life: Alyx Dramatically Increases Number of Steam VR Usersįor a long time, it seemed to members of the gaming community that Valve wouldn't return to the series. The VR title was released in 2020 to critical acclaim, and since then fans have been wondering what's next for Valve, now that it has returned to one of its most-adored series. This was frustrating for some fans, who were excited about the possibility of Half-Life 3 and sequels to Portal and Left 4 Dead. While Valve seemed content to leave behind working on their major franchises, the team quietly started production on Half-Life: Alyx in 2016. While fans have been waiting for Half-Life 3, Valve shied away from working on its major franchises for several years. While there has been no official news on a new, main entry Half-Life game, it's more possible than ever it could be developed. Regardless, a new Half-life game remains at the top of wish lists for fans of the series. Rumors have been circulating for years around the possibility of a new game, ranging from outright denials of it existing to gossip which states that it has been canceled. The original games in the series are beloved first-person shooters, and fans never got closure on Gordon Freeman's story. Half-Life 3 is one of the most sought-after games of all time.
