It is no secret that Valve is developing a new game engine known as Source 2. With the birth of the next-gen consoles and the age of digital gaming, Valve has taken the initiative to give their game engine that much needed upgrade.
As for the games, Half Life 3 is certainly a mystery to everyone. Valve had done ever so well when it comes to keeping their lips sealed on the subject. However, Gabe did reveal that Ricochet 2 is in development.
Most Half Life fans believe that Ricochet 2 is some coded text for Half Life 3. Despite that fact, Redditor SockJuice believes otherwise. The lad revealed that Ricochet 2 will be the game that will demonstrate Source 2 engine. As the game is still in development, it could be the demo of Ricochet 2 that will demonstrate Source 2 capabilities.
Fans who have been waiting so long for Half Life 3 shouldn’t be let down by this. Ricochet 2 could be just a teaser of the bigger things that is to come to Source 2 engine. There is a strong possibility for the likes of Left 4 Dead 3 and Half Life 3 to be created on the Source 2.
Ricochet 2 doesn’t have that popularity like how it is with Left 4 Dead and Half Life. As such, SockJuice hints that Ricochet 2 is meant to test the water. If the reception is good, then Valve will consider unleashing both Left 4 Dead 3 and Half Life 3.
If Source 2 is a success, then gamers can expect Valve to be really busy updating its whole line-up of games.
