Half-Life team appears to be developing another secret game
The project's codename was mentioned at GameSoundCon, but no official announcement from the studio has been made yet
According to unofficial reports, the Half-Life: Alyx team has been developing hlx at least since 2021. The project is conceived as a single-player shooter with an emphasis on simulation, artificial intelligence, and interactivity; within the series, it is positioned as Half-Life 3.
Valve’s music designer Mike Morasky mentioned the codename during a discussion about HDR and sound optimization: "Deadlock has its own HDR version, hlx has its own, and so on."
Sitting nearby, Valve sound designer David Feise jokingly praised his colleague for mentioning hlx only once. According to data miners' findings, the game is already in very late stages of development.
