Release Date

Are you looking for the Half-Life 3 release date? Many of us HL 3 fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the next installment to the Half-Life series. An eventual third release has been confirmed by Valve, the developers of the Half-Life franchise, however, no release date has been set. It still remains uncertain if development of the next game has even begun. With many software development projects such as Portal and Left 4 Dead, along with continual development and maintenance to the popular Steam software, Valve has been keeping busy.

If you came here hoping to find out when Half Life 3 will be released, then your search has come up empty. No official word or announcement has been released about the next Half Life game. Fear not, because this silence does not mean development is not underway. Valve will make the announcement when they feel good and ready they can meet a deadline.

We will see Half-Life 3 and the day it is officially announced we will post the Half-Life 3 release date on this page.

Please stay tuned.

    Will it even be worth the wait? Can it possibly live up to expectations at this point? I don’t know that I even want it anymore.

    Steam & valve are making a new engine to run all there new games once it has been fully created, Hl3 and left 4 dead 3 still have not even been mentioned yet, what else could they be doing in that time and what if steam accually create a new console powerfull enough to run it all, what they want to do is wait till then because theres a lot of ideas floating about and it will be close to perfect when its done.

    I’m pretty sure that HL3 won’t be released in 2013

    I think only the Xbox is having problems; the PS3 has a lot of ability.

    The truth is no one who loves half-life wants to see another addition to the franchise right now. If the game comes out in before 2014 its guaranteed to be on the very aging source engine.

    The world has grown way beyond source. Here is to praying csgo is the last game ever made on that engine. Besides if the game comes out three years from now that gives us all plenty of time to graduate from college and get a top tier system.

    In 2007 i never thought that the next game would be later than 2012.
    It’s taking more than I wished to wait.
    I don’t know what to think right now..
    2013, maybe.. 2014.

    Jesus It’s all just rumors. I am not quite sure they will make it on the new engine which will run on ‘expensive’ computers. They all understand that some people still play on low defined computers and waiting to run a new part of half life on original source engine. I guess the game is already under development and they don’t want to spread out the news that fast. They’ll tell on the end of their development and awaiting players will pay and even pre order the game. Valve will get more money with that. I am telling the fact based on my opinion.

    To develop a new engine it will take more time and money. Everything they could do is just put a few new things into the current engine.

    Actually you don’t need to pay loads of money for a nice PC.
    I built a quad core AMD 965 BE 3.4ghz stock, with a nice graphics card an 8gb ram for about 700 pounds.

    It runs any game maxed out W/o any problems.

    Hello,
    I had a friend that works for valve. One year ago he told me that the probleme to give a release date is to difficult. He said that the computer and the ps3 or xbox or not powerfull enough to run the new half life engine. But they work on it.

      Interesting that a new engine is not powerful enough for today’s consoles. I’m going to guess it’s the Xbox lagging in performance power.

      Valve is notorious for developing games for the average PC gamer. They know the majority of gamers are not hardcore and don’t spend thousands on the latest hardware. I find it surprising Valve would develop a new engine not able to handle today’s consoles.

      I’m working on a new Post that talks about this.

      • ripdisk says:

        It’s not that ”the engine wouldn’t be powerful enough for today’s system” lol it would be today’s systems aren’t powerful enough to run the new ENGINE! But, this seems very unlikely as it’s very common to have a nice PC these days.

    • ripdisk says:

      Dude, that’s bullcrap. How would they be using an engine that couldn’t be ran by a PC? How would they work on it? I know for a fact my four-core with 6gb of ddr3 ram will handle it NO PROBLEM.

      • Awerenj says:

        @ripdisk – Well, your PC should definitely be able to run it. But that PC must have been expensive, wasn’t it? Most of us use a much lower config on our PC, simply because we don’t need a higher config!

        So the idea is to get the engine to be more optimized – use lesser resources, without reducing performance. This way, many more people with a lower configuration PC would be able to run the game. That means more game sales.

        If a common gamer needs to spend a ton of money to upgrade their PC just to play one game, that’s bad for business, isn’t it?

          yes ur right
          i will be sad when i really hear that new source engine require high end pc

        • Dane says:

          No, not anymore. RAM and graphics cards are really cheap these days. I upgraded my ram and gpu last yeah to 8gig of super fast ddr3 and an nvidi 270, it set me back less than $400(aus). Just buy them online, never buy parts from a retail store.

      • dumytru says:

        how would they work on it? well d*** it

        There are 16-Core CPUs and motherboards with 2 slots for CPU (or even more)

        and I’m sure there a better (the one I mentioned is a comercial one)

        I read somewhere that NASA biult a computer with 60k CPUs (and that in the ’80)

        so the problem if it would work on the PC we have at home…
