'The only reason we'd go back and do like a super classic kind of product is if a whole bunch of people just internally at Valve said they wanted to do it and had a reasonable explanation for why ,' he explained. He spoke out during an interview with Geoff Keighley in a one-off podcast called GameSlice, when he was asked whether we'd ever see a proper Half Life 3. However, Valve co-founder Gabe Newell came out at the end of last year and did speak of Half Life 3 explicitly, but didn't actually manage to confirm or deny the game.

The fan anticipation has actually built to 'Half Life 3 Confirmed' becoming a meme, as over time numerous intentionally fake fan theories and leaks have emerged teasing the game or even some that have little or nothing to do with the games.

It's the news headline we all want to read.
