Half-Life fans believe Valve is preparing to announce Half-Life 3 in November

The Half-Life fan community has been revived after a theory about the imminent announcement of the third installment in the legendary series surfaced on Reddit. A user named "sameseksure" noted an unusual gap in the Steam event calendar, which begins on November 18th, and speculated that Valve could unveil Half-Life 3 on that date.

According to him, the company always posts major announcements or sales on the Steam homepage, using a top banner to attract attention. Valve is unlikely to launch a major announcement alongside a major sale, so the time slot between November 18th and December 8th seems ideal.

Fans cite the postponement of the Steam Autumn Sale from November to September as additional support for this theory. In an official announcement, Valve emphasized that this was "intentional." This has led to speculation that the company deliberately cleared the November window for a special event, which, according to players, could be the long-awaited announcement of Half-Life 3.
