Newell most likely would not want to spend much time wandering off the successful path the company has already found, and probably will not start on anything that would not lead to immediate success.īut for all the optimistic fans out there, even though Newell did kind of dismiss the idea of making Half-Life 3, he technically never said that they would not ever make a sequel either. In the end, above all the "Lord Gaben" praising and the "Valve worshipping", we have to keep into mind that it is still a business. But that doesn't necessarily always mean what people are worried that it might mean".Ĭonsidering the amount of success Valve has seen just distributing games, and the amount of funny hats bought on Team Fortress 2, Newell does not seem like he has the motivation to tackle a project like Half-Life 3.
"The only reason we'd go back and do like a super classic kind of product is if a whole bunch of people just internally at Valve said they wanted to do it and had a reasonable explanation.So we'll keep moving forward. Half-Life: Alyx is out today, its a great VR game and a great Half-Life game, and perhaps best of all we dont have to stop joking about 'Half-Life 3 confirmed' because neither that nor the semi. Half-Life 3 is one of the most sought-after games of all time.The original games in the series are beloved first-person shooters, and fans never got closure on Gordon Freemans story.
In an interview with Geoff Keighley, Newell was asked if Half-Life 3 would ever see the light of day.
