Half-Life 3 Is Being Widely Playtested Ahead of a Possible Summer Reveal, Winter Release; Game Is Playable From Beginning to End - Rumor

The project codenamed HLX, which is thought to be Half-Life 3, is reportedly being widely playtested ahead of a Summer reveal.

TL;DR: Rumor has it that “HLX” (aka Half-Life 3) is already being play-tested from start to finish, with leaks pointing to a summer reveal and a winter launch. Insider Tyler McVicker says it won’t be another VR spin-off like Alyx, but it will feature a procedural “director” system (think Left 4 Dead on steroids) to dynamically tweak doors, props, enemies and NPCs.

Apparently the core gameplay and story are locked in, and Valve’s team is deep in optimization and polish. If these whispers hold true, fans could finally get their long-awaited Half-Life sequel before the year’s out.
