"Half Life 3" release date could be forgotten altogether as it has been rumored that Valve is focusing on creating more multiplayer titles as of the moment.
The focus has not been on the HL3 since the beginning as Valve has confirmed that the highly anticipated title is not in development. New reports are now claiming that "Left 4 Dead 3" could be a more viable option for developers to release.
"Valve has been on the development of multiplayer games and its internet-based gaming platform called Steam," Master Herald noted.
"With the massive success of multiplayer games 'Dota 2' and 'Counterstrike' and other games on its Steam platform, it is almost sure that 'Left 4 Dead 3' will definitely be released. As a matter of fact, there have been reports that 'Left 4 Dead 3' is already under development and Valve Corporation is just keeping everything under wraps."
"Unlike in the case of "Half Life 3," where much of the hints of its development come in cryptic teases or leaks, there is nothing of such kind for 'Left 4 Dead 3' which means that the developer is really busy with the game."
Speculations about "Left 4 Dead 3" have slowly gained momentum online, with many claiming that the game was the reason behind Valve dropping the "Half Life 3" release date altogether. Now that it is solely focused on making the new title, it is expected to have a 2017 launch.
A lot of fan theories have surfaced regarding the "Half Life 3" and "Left 4 Dead" 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 two confirmed release date announcements.
"Aside from 'Half Life 3,' Valve is also reportedly working on third installment of first person shooter game 'Left 4 Dead.' Both games will make use of Source 2 engines," Yibada reported.
"The two new game titles are expected to be faster and with more detailed graphics due to the presence of Vulcan graphics AP in Source 2 engine."
