It’s never happening.
Wasn’t it like, 8 years ago or so now that the main writer just posted what the planned plot was going to be anyway because he, like everyone else, realized HL3 was never going to happen so why not spill the beans?
I have respect for Valve’s games and Steam is far and away the best platform for gaming, but I’m still mad about this. That company exists and Newell floats around the world in his ultra yacht because of Half-Life fans. Valve had all the attention and money they needed to continue the series that put them on the map, but they just abandoned it on a massive cliffhanger, right as they were starting to tie the Portal timeline into the HL timeline.
And the only continuation they’ve provided is a game that isn’t HL3 and locked behind a VR purchase (yes I know non-VR mods exist).
Pretty shitty.

If they ever do release it, they should just stealth drop it on the platform. No fanfare, no trailer. See how long it takes us to find it.

About I give it less than a second.
