Valve may be looking to catch any potential leakers, which would explain the various dates that have been circulating lately.
Insider Mike Straw has noted that he is still trying to get his hands on corroborated details about Valve's plans for the announcement.
The rumor mill has been churning more than usual about a potential Half-Life 3 announcement, but how likely is an announcement?
Apparently, the long-rumored Half-Life 3/HLX was supposed to have an announcement around noon today, according to NateTheHate.
"It's happening soon enough. Just be ready." Following months of rumors, Valve may reveal HLX, allegedly the next Half-Life.
This comes from a new report indicating that optimisation work on project HLX has been going smoothly through updates to Source 2.
According to things in a recent update to Source 2 engine spotted by dataminers, development has been progressing steadily.
Valve is "probably content-locked, or if they’re not, they’re mechanic-locked," an insider claims about the rumoured shooter.
Valve's company page currently touts two upcoming releases, though only MOBA shooter Deadlock is visible, leading to speculation.
As much as we've love to see them, these announcements have a slim chance of happening in the coming days.
In response to Tyler McVicker's latest video on the same, the company says "he has no inside information about what goes on at Valve."
It's been claimed that in a bid to bolster the Steam Deck, Valve is currently working on a co-op FPS/RTS hybrid based on Half-Life called Citadel.
