Half-Life 3 may already be in the final stages of development

Back in December, we got some rumors that Valve will start playtesting for the next single-player Half-Life. The latest rumors about it sound pretty good, too.

According to YouTuber Tyler McVicker, Half-Life 3 has successfully passed the crucial stage of Valve's post-Christmas re-evaluation of projects in development. Given that the American company doesn't hesitate to cancel games or other projects during this period, many were worried about the future of the title.

It was thanks to an update for Dota 2 that we got all this information. The next Half-Life should be entering the final phase of its development. Corrections and improvements will be made to various aspects of the game.

This entry will also place particular emphasis on interactivity and simulation, with a focus on vehicles and more. Finally, it could be announced this very year.
