A secret upcoming game listing on Valve’s publishing house profile on Steam has reignited expectations for Half-Life 3.
Half-Life 3has been one of the most anticipated productions in the gaming world for many years. Recently, this expectation has been revived thanks to a secret “upcoming game” spotted on Valve’s Steam publishing house profile. This listing, spotted by Reddit users, attracted the attention of Half-Life fans. The mysterious game has been on the profile page since December 29, making it very unlikely that it was a mistake.
New Hope for Half-Life 3
Half-Life 3 rumors have been discussed among players for years. But this new discovery has raised hopes that the game may actually be on the way. Valve’s publishing profile states that there are two games under the “Upcoming Releases” heading. One of them is Valve’s popular MOBA game Deadlock, which is still in early access, while the other game remains a mystery and cannot be viewed publicly.
I could be onto nothing here but is this new?

This situation is reminiscent of a similar incident that occurred in Atlus’ publishing profile in 2021. Atlus’ secret listing at the time resulted in the announcement of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax for Steam a short time later. For this reason, expectations have increased that Valve may make an announcement soon.
It is not certain whether the mysterious game is Half-Life 3 or not. However, this was enough to excite both Half-Life and Valve fans. Another clue to the game’s existence was the mysterious hints made through social media and songs in the process of an alternative reality game (ARG) that emerged in recent months. The uncertainties experienced during the resolution of this ARG contributed to the strengthening of the rumors.
Although Valve has not made an official statement yet, players maintain their hopes that Half-Life 3 may be finally announced in 2025. This legendary sequel of the Half-Life series seems to create great excitement in the gaming world.
