Summary

The Game Awards just tweeted about Half-Life 2: Episode One's 19th anniversary, and of course, fans think it's a tease.
Half-Life 3 could show up at SGF, who knows? But this tweet isn't anything special.
Over the last couple of weeks alone, TGA has also tweeted about Infamous turning 16 and The Forest turning 11. It always highlights odd milestones.

Over the weekend, Half-Life 2: Episode One celebrated its 19th anniversary. It's a bit of a weird number to highlight (just wait until the 20th!), bu♔t The Game Awards tweeted it anyway.

Like a hungry ichthyosaurus smelling blood in the water, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Half-Life fans swarmed onto the post as proof that Half-Life 3 will be announced by Geoff Keighley at Summer Game Fest this Friday. Why else would you highlight such an obscure anniversary? P𓂃lease, we've been through 💯this before.

"Makes Me Think Something Is Definitely Coming Soon"

Fans also hyped up that Half-Life 3 would be unveiled at The Game Awards last year, and when 168🐻澳洲幸运5开奖网:Okami🌳 2 was the big showstopping reveal, it left the community in complete despair. That was based on a VR developer teasing that Gabe Newell might be at the event. Hardly substantial evidence.

An innocuous tweet is even less concrete, and it's not even the only oddball anniversary that TGA has posted about in the last couple of weeks. It also shared that the first Infamous game had turned 16, and that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Forest was released 11 years ago on Steam into alpha. A quick scroll throuꦿgh its Twitter and you'll see that tweeting about Half-Life 2: Episode One doesn't mean anything💦.

"It's [A] Nothing Burger"

Half-Life 3 is in development and appears to be in the optimisation phase. There is plenty of datamined e🅘videnꦯce to support that. G-Man and Barney Calhoun actor Mike Shapiro even teased 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:"unexpected surprises" for 2025 with the Half-Life hashtag. Something is happening.

Valve will likely announce the game this year, putting to bed the 'Half-Life 3 confirmed' meme for good. But that doesn't mean it'll show up at Summer Game Fest. There's always a chance that it could appear, but there's nothing to suggest that right now — temper you expectations, and if it does happen, then it's a nice surprise. Otherwise, you're ♛setting yourself up for disap🙈pointment.

While past games have made appearances at events like E3, the most recent entry, Alyx, wඣas revealed in a random tweet on a random Thursday. It's impossible to predict the whims of Valve. For all we know, it could drop Half-Life 3 on Steam out of the blue.
