Following the Steam leak which somehow confirms that Half Life 3 is in production, Half Life fans begin to believe that the highly anticipated title is going to get announce somewhere this year.
Most fans would often relate Half Life 3’s announcement to happen on a gamin event but that is actually a mistake. Knowing Valve, they always come out with creative ways to announce on an upcoming title.
In other words, Half Life 3’s confirmation can happen at any point of time or at any random events, even if it is not gaming related. Just by looking at Portal 2, Valve announced the title at a tech event.
As such, any events should not be taken lightly. As long as fans follow and tracks Valve every movement, they can be ready for Half Life 3’s confirmation.
