It’s also important to note: While McVicker does have a track record for knowing things Valve’s got going onhe’s most famously known for releasing info about Half-Life Alyx well before the game officially launchedeverything is just rumors until Half-Life 3 updates come. Speaking of Alyx, McVicker also mentions that there is “growing internal disappointment with the VR platform on the PC” at Valve, so any follow-up is sounding unlikely, even though there is evidence (via data mining) of some initial work on an Alyx sequel.Īll of this is speculation, naturally, so maintain a healthy sense of skepticism around McVicker’s assertions. Half-Life Alyx was also GameSpot’s Game of The Year in 2020. So hearing it isn’t underway at Valve is far from a surprise. We’ve pretty much given up on the idea of Half-Life 3 ourselves, and didn’t hold out much hope for it even when folks were getting excited that it could be in the cards back in 2019, and that turned out to be Half-Life: Alyx. (Note that Citadel was rumored back at the start of 2021, and Valve denied any knowledge of the existence of the project).

Analysis: Citadel co-op could be a big draw for Steam Deck eventuallyĪll this definitely sounds believable: certainly Valve will be focusing totally on making sure the Steam Deck fulfils its ample promise, and the project known as Citadel makes sense as a vehicle to push the handheld in the future, and to leverage the idea of co-op play.
