Summary

  • A new video from Valve watcher Tyler McVicker has highlighted a range of new information in the latest updates for Valve games that point to the development of the heavily rumoured Half-Life 3 (HLX).
  • McVicker says that strings within the updates suggest that the Source engine is undergoing a range of changes that typically occur towards the end of a game’s development cycle.
  • Changes to the AI systems in the updates also suggest that AMD’s AI-powered FidelityFX Super Resolution upscaling is in use on HLX, and further indication that the game is in its final stages of development.
  • McVicker stresses that while he believes that HLX is nearing release, these developments could still mean a year or more of development is still to be completed, meaning a possible release date of 2026 is still heavily speculated.
  • Valve is yet to make any official announcement regarding Half-Life 3 or any subsequent Half-Life titles.
