The speculation surrounding Half-Life 3 has reached fever pitch once again after Valve’s Steam page inadvertently revealed the listing of a second game alongside their upcoming title Deadlock.

This revelation has ignited a new wave of theories among the fan community. However, it’s crucial to note that before fans get overly hyped, the mysterious title could simply refer to something as mundane as gift cards.

A Reddit user recently noticed that Valve’s Steam page displayed two projects under the Upcoming Releases section. One is Deadlock, a third-person MOBA currently in development, while the second title remains concealed from public view. This obscurity has fueled further speculation that it might denote Gordon Freeman’s anticipated third adventure.

Fans are grappling with a variety of interpretations regarding the unidentified game. Feedback from the community oscillates between the notion that it could be a straightforward error and a more imaginative theory suggesting it could be In the Valley of the Gods, which is Campo Santo’s anticipated sequel to Firewatch—a project paused following their acquisition by Valve.

Moreover, it’s also suggested that the second title could very well be a dated gift card listing from Valve that has recently been corrected, particularly since gift cards have been purchasable on Steam for an extended period.

While the allure of Half-Life 3 persists, Valve has released various insights on the Half-Life narrative in recent documentaries. Gabe Newell has openly expressed his stance on Half-Life 2: Episode 3, believing that concluding the story would be a disservice to expectations. As customers continue to pursue clarity regarding upcoming releases, they may find reassurance in Valve’s historical strategy of reveling in ambiguity.
