Will the hyped about "Half Life" release date be ever confirmed?

A lot of fan theories have spread like wildfire regarding the anticipated release's launch.  One of the most popular, claimed that with the release of Valve's Source 2, it would not be long before developers will second it with a "Half Life 3" announcement.

"A Valve employee is free to work on whatever they want (to a certain degree). This can mean that a project will go undeveloped because nobody is interested," user Wuki said in a "Half Life 3" subreddit.

"However, this is unlikely. A while back, a list of HL3 developers was leaked, which had a big overlap with the Source 2 developers: from all components, 37 of the 48 HL3 devs are also in the Source 2 development team. It's likely that the developers wanted to get the new engine out before continuing with the game. And now Source 2 is officially announced, it will only take a couple of years centuries (note, Valve Time) for HL3 to come out."

"It's not officially cancelled, it's not officially announced. I believe it will arrive some day. But it's mostly speculation."

Other fans believe that Valve is not really looking at the potential cash cow "Half Life 3" could be, but they are really putting a premium on giving an excellent gaming experience to players.

"Half-Life is made by Valve, who also made Steam, Counterstrike, Team Fortress, Left 4 Dead, Portal among a few others. As you can see from that list, they are extremely successful and have a reputation for only putting out quality products. Valve is owned by Gabe Newell, and the company has made him a billionaire so he's not in any rush to nickel and dime his customers," user Dopplegangr1 noted.

"People want HL3 because the first two were great. When Valve is ready to release a sequel that will live up to the reputation I'm sure we will get it."

Valve has always been clear about the status of the highly-anticipated 3rd installment- it is not being developed as of the moment.  According to a report from Motoring Crunch, Valve co-founder Gabe Newell released a statement about the game's fate to address all rumors once and for all.

"Gabe simply said that Half Life 3 is not in production at the moment and fans shouldn't expect it to come anytime soon. Of course, Gabe could either be cooling down the hype or telling the truth," the article read.

"Either way, there is a positive that can be taken from Gabe's words and that is he didn't deny Half Life 3's coming at all. No matter how the outcome of E3 will be like, Half Life 3's coming remain to be inevitable."
