488JR has become a subject of a strong buzz after it suggested that Half Life 3 is going to make its debut later this year. The online retailer inserted an ad of Half Life 3 on its website yesterday and it came out with a cited release date of 2015.
However, the ad is nothing more than a placeholder that is pending for confirmation by Valve. If logic is applied, there is simply no way for Half Life 3 to get released this year. Best that could happen is a confirmation announcement and nothing more.
Besides, how can a Swedish online retailer know more about Half Life 3 than American entities? 499KR could just be using Half Life 3’s popularity to improve traffic on its website.
