r/HalfLife3

Hey everyone!

​We’re officially four days away from Valve’s 30th anniversary on August 24th. The hopium in my veins is reaching dangerous levels again, but I’m trying really hard to keep my expectations grounded so I don't end up wearing a clown nose on Monday.

​Personally, I feel like hoping for a Half-Life 3 / HLX drop right now is pure, unadulterated copium. I definitely wouldn't bet money on it, though there's always that tiny 0.1% part of my brain whispering "what if?".

​Realistically, I think we're mostly looking at a big Steam anniversary sale and maybe a new documentary from the Secret Tape team—which honestly would be amazing after what they did for HL1 and HL2. As for the rest of the year, Tyler McVicker mentioned we probably shouldn't expect any HLX announcements in 2026, but Valve is Valve. Plans change all the time, and who knows what might pop up in Source 2 code updates later this fall (and maybe soon we'll get some updates for CS2/Dota 2/Deadlock?).

​What’s your take on this? Are you expecting just a casual sale, hoping for a documentary, or fully OD'ing on hopium for an actual HLX tease? Let’s hear your theories! 🧳λ
