Valve Developer Mistakenly Mentions Rumored Half-Life 3 Codename

A Valve developer mistakenly slipped up and made mention of Half-Life 3's long-rumored codename during a recent conference. For years, fans have wondered if we'll ever see Half-Life 3. During the 2010s, hope for the threequel was kept firmly alive by die-hard fans... but it was later revealed that the project had been quietly killed by Valve. However, hope was reignited when Valve released Half-Life: Alyx, which ended with a massive cliffhanger that seemed to directly set up Gordon Freeman's next adventure.
