Half-Life 3 Should Be Announced This Year, Now Playable End-to-End

Yesterday, McVicker streamed for , "letting off steam,ꩵ" allowing his audience to ask him🌳 questions about the game. There were some interesting responses.
First, McVicker was simply asked when the game would be coming, to which he responded, "Probably this year, or at least it will be announced this year." While that's nothing particularly ne🌳w, it's yet another instance of somebody slating the game or its announcement for 2025.

The YouTuber also quashed any concerns that the game would be eitherꦰ꧂ VR-only or open-world, with a resounding 'no' to both.
The ball is in your court now, Valve.
