Rumor: New Half-Life 3 data has appeared online

Yesterday we wrote about a Valve project codenamed HLX, which may be related to the Half-Life universe. The day before, users found information in the resume of the voice actress hinting at work on the sequel to Half-Life 2.

The data was found in the profile of Natasha Chandel, who listed a Valve game called Project White Sands in her portfolio. The site itself, by the way, has already «fallen» under the pressure of curious fans. Reddit suggested that the name directly refers to the Half-Life universe, since White Sands is a nature reserve in New Mexico. Let us recall that the fictional scientific complex «Black Mesa», the main setting of the first Half-Life, is also located there.

Insider Tyler McVicker, who has repeatedly reported correct information about Valve projects like Deadlock and Alyx, joined the discussion of the discovery. He suggested that Project White Sands could be Half-Life 3, since the game has been in development for several years and the main character wears a HEV suit, according to information from the code. According to the insider, the game is being developed for PC, not VR.

Recall that earlier, internal information about Valve salaries and the number of employees leaked online. Recently, there was also a rumor that Valve is working on a fighting game.
