An insider claimed that Valve is preparing a trailer for Half-Life 3

A new rumor has surfaced online that Valve has begun production on a Half-Life 3 trailer. According to sources, the video is being developed under the codename HLX or HL3 and could be the first official confirmation of the long-awaited sequel.

The information appeared in the latest issue of "HLX Files" by blogger Tyler McVicker, known for his insider knowledge of Valve projects. He reported that the studio is currently working on a trailer related to Half-Life 3. According to McVicker, the company's approach to announcements differs from the traditional practice of major publishers: Valve typically tries to release a game and announce it almost simultaneously, as happened with Half-Life: Alyx.

Previously, sources claimed that the third installment would be the final chapter of the renowned franchise. If these rumors are confirmed, this could mean the project is nearing completion. McVicker also noted that Valve prefers to avoid early announcements, as trailers created long before release often include staged scenes that do not reflect the actual state of the game.
