    All the new hype about a possible HL3 coming soon™ are more than likely a sequel to Alyx, considering it also coincides with leaks, trademarks and other info about an incoming new VR setup from Valve and/or a new Steam Deck.

    It could be a straight up new VR game, or, hell, it could be doing something to show off a new idea in the handheld space now that I am really thinking about it. Maybe the new Steam Deck will have gnarly new gyroscopic motion tech or something they wanna show off.

    They’ve been pretty adamant about not making a sequel for the sake of a sequel; if they have nothing they think is super cool to show off, they’re not doing it. So the likely true rumors about them doing something is still exciting to me, even if it’s not HL3 itself.

      Yeah. They have been developing their new Deckard VR headset, so I see it being more aligned with that than anything else. They don’t really have another reason to just release HL3.

        They might have just cracked a new mechanic. Let’s not get too hasty - especially considering the reports of non-VR HL3 being beta-tested end to end, with such a mechanic: supposedly it has actually good procedural generation.
