According to the YouTuber, the game codenamedWhite Sandshas been in development for some time by the team that madeAlyx.

There are no details about the plot of this project or whether it involves Gordon Freeman as the protagonist. Although the likelihood of this game’s release is slim, fans never hesitate to rekindle their excitement.
It also isn’t confirmed that the game is specificallyHalf Life. It could be a whole new IP altogether. Nevertheless, this does bring some hope to fans.
Will Gordon Freeman Make a Triumphant Return?
On platforms like Reddit, many users have taken the opportunity to discuss this video and share their own opinions about the leaks and the possibility ofHalf Life3being in development.
All indications are that this new project will be part of the game’s universe, both cooperative and singleplayer, seemingly only available on PC. Valve uses the Source 2 engine, whose code contains some of these details, tying all this information together.
Beyond being hopeful, a significant portion of the fans fear that the studio might decide to make another universe-related game that has no connection to a potential third installment.

After seeing how they releasedAlyx, a VR game that remains one of the most praised in the genre but didn’t conclude Gordon Freeman’s story, part of the community worries that the studio will choose to follow trends and try to monetize the IP instead.
This saga, a symbol of PC gaming, featured two mainHalf Lifegames and two episodes, culminating in one of the most prominent cliffhangers in recent years—Episode 2, the final installment, released in 2007.
Thirteen years later, Valve decided to releaseAlyxin 2020, taking VR games to a new level that had previously been unattainable. But after 17 years, fans are still waiting for the third installment to bring closure to the story of this character.
