Half Life 3: Source 2 Engine Directory Leak Indicates Development

Remember when images of Valve Software’s Left 4 Dead 2 recreated using the Source 2 Engine has been leaked by renowned NeoGAF insider CBOAT? It now seems that there is indeed more going on at Valve that goes beyond the usual Steam Machines, SteamOS and what have you.

A new image posted on NeoGAF indicates some of the files for a Source 2 director. See anything you like in that list?

Along with Counter Strike 2, Left 4 Dead 3 and Dota references, you can plainly see the initials “HL3”. There are only two folder directories – perhaps an indication of just how much work has been done? – but Lord knows it’s better than nothing.

Which is pretty much what Valve has offered us regarding Half Life 3. There has been winks and nudges, along with outright admissions that the developer doesn’t want to rush the third game. But the evidence continues to mount that Valve is doing something with the game. What could it be? Stay tuned.
