2. A 2015 Release
funnyjunk.comPossibly the biggest mystery surrounding Half-Life 3 is when it will be released. Every year, the rumours begin to fly whenever it gets close to various industry trade shows, and every year fans are left disappointed. Without tempting fate, next year is looking like a prime candidate for a Half-Life 3 release. This is primarily due to the launch of Valve's Steam Machines, pre-built gaming PCs that will come loaded with Steam OS, along with the expected release of the Steam Controller. The Steam Machines will take the form of living room PCs designed for a streamlined gaming experience, like a more open games console. Fans have observed that a Half-Life 3 release that coincides with the Steam Machines launch would be the perfect way to kick-start the hardware, despite Valve confirming that there won't be exclusives for the operating system. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caH_JLC_8fY
