Valve Might Reveal New Half-Life at Gamescom 2023

Several gaming companies have been confirmed for this year’s Gamescom, which is scheduled for August 23, 2023. The event promises to bring tons of updates on the latest projects of each company, including upcoming releases. Among the many companies attending, one of the biggest names registered for Gamescom is Valve.

Valve is widely recognized for its classic first-person shooter, Counter-Strike (CS), and the iconic Half-Life series. While Valve may attend Gamescom to showcase their upcoming title, Counter-Strike 2, it is interesting to note that they are involved with Half-Life in the event’s official app. The Gamescom Companion app includes a list of exhibitors attending the event, and Valve is mentioned with the exhibit brand name “Half-Life.”

A screenshot of both the company name and exhibit brand name has been shared on Reddit, leading fans to speculate that this might hint at the long-awaited sequel to Half-Life 2, as Half-Life 3 was never released. However, it’s important to note that Gamescom itself has not officially confirmed Valve’s participation, and the information can only be observed from the companion app.

It’s possible that Valve’s name has been mistakenly included in the app, but if the information is accurate, there’s a chance that they may tease the audience with a Half-Life 3 announcement.”
