However, Valve hasn't officially confirmed anything yet, so fans should still take the information with a grain of salt. McVicker also stated that some individuals on the Citadel project have been moved to the Steam Deck of finishing touches, but that development on Citadel is still progressing. McVicker described the project as a "nostalgia fest," apparently being some sort of RTS-FPS hybrid that's "cooperatively based." McVicker cited Left 4 Dead and Alien Swarm as examples of what fans should expect as far as gameplay goes, with the obvious Half-Life influence. McVicker stressed that any mouse and keyboard shooter fans might hope is in development at Valve "is not taking place." While that might be disappointing news for fans, it's not all bad, as there's still reportedly a Half-Life project in the works.Īpparently called " Half-Life: Citadel," or at least being called that as a code name, the new project is apparently being created to demonstrate what the Steam Deck is capable of. McVicker then elaborated that the teams at Valve are focused on games for the Steam Deck because it's reaching an unanticipated level of success.

Unfortunately, McVicker had bad news for fans hoping that Half-Life: Alyx's ending was an indication of more to come. In a new YouTube video, McVicker discussed the state of the Half-Life franchise, going on to describe where things are headed. The information comes by way of Valve News Network's creator, Tyler McVicker. Unfortunately, Half-Life 3 may not be happening ever, though there's still some good news. While Half-Life: Alyx filled the void, in part, for fans with VR headsets, there are still vast swathes of fans that are unable to play Alyx and are holding out hope for Half-Life 3. Hal-Life 3 has become a running joke in the video game community, as years have passed without even a hint of a new mainline Half-Life game.
