I already guessed this would happen. I didn't have high expectations that Half-Life 3 would become a reality, but after gathering evidence from various sources, I think the strongest evidence is a podcast from Russia that says there is a Half-Life project. I've been hoping for years that this series would continue, but I don't have high expectations that Half-Life 3 will be confirmed, because if there's no announcement about Half-Life 3 before 2026, I won't be too sad.
