‘Half-Life 3’ Release Date Update, Rumors: Game Awaiting A 2018 Release?

While game developer Valve is keeping mum about the third installment of the popular "Half-Life" franchise, rumors about the highly anticipated "Half-Life 3" have been making rounds for quite some time now.

It's been almost ten long years since the last "Half-Life" game, dubbed "Half-Life 2" was released in 2007. Gamers have been waiting for an announcement from the developers about the next installment of the game. The lack of updates about a sequel has forced fans to believe that there will never be a "Half-Life 3".

Fortunately, new rumors about "Half-Life 3" suggest the game might get a release date sometime in 2018 to mark the 20 years of the Half Life series of games. It is rumored that the reason behind the delay in the game's release are the new features which are being added to the game. "Half-Life 3" is expected to get support for 4K Ultra HD resolution, as well as possible support for virtual reality (VR), reported Vine Report.

According to The News Independent, Valve CEO Gabe Newell has not totally rejected the idea of making another Half-Life game. During the interview, he said that the only reason that they would go back and do like a super classic kind of product is when a whole bunch of people just internally at Valve said that they wanted to do it and had a reasonable explanation why they are pushing for it.

The craze about "Half-Life 3" is so avid among gamers that one of them even went on to make a Twitter account to announce the release of the highly anticipated game. The account was later proved to be a fake one and was only made to get fans hyped up, reported Ecumenical News.

We would advise our readers to take the information with a grain of salt as nothing yet about "Half-Life 3" release date or game plot has been announced by the developers.
