Half-Life 3 Rumours Swirl Around New Unannounced Valve Project

As a die-hard Half-Life fan since the late 90s, I’ve been on this rollercoaster of anticipation for Half-Life 3 for what feels like an eternity. The latest rumors surrounding Natasha Chandel and Project White Sands have me more than just a little excited. You see, I remember when Half-Life first blew my mind with its immersive storytelling and groundbreaking gameplay. So, the idea that Valve might finally be gearing up to continue this epic saga is nothing short of exhilarating.


There’s been some buzz about Half-Life 3 lately, as voice actress Natasha Chandel mentioned working on a secret Valve project.

Chandel’s website (currently offline due to exceeding its bandwidth limit) contains information about her involvement in a project with Valve, titled “Project White Sands.”

As someone who has been a longtime fan of video games and the Half-Life series in particular, I can’t help but notice the recent rumors circulating about the potential return of this iconic franchise. With the mysterious removal of a reference to “White Sands” from the Valve website just before it went down, many fans are pointing to this location as a possible clue. For those who may not know, White Sands is a real-life desert in New Mexico, and for those familiar with the Half-Life universe, it’s also the home of the secretive government organization known as Black Mesa. This organization was responsible for all sorts of shady activities and has been at the heart of many of the series’ most memorable moments.

So far, Valve hasn’t made any comments regarding this matter, leaving us with minimal evidence, apart from that small hint, that connects this with Half-Life.

Nevertheless, the third installment in that sequence has been mysteriously absent since the suspenseful finale of Half-Life 2 Episode 2. Over time, it’s become a recurring topic, often humorously referenced as a legendary, never-ending enigma in gaming circles.

In the year 2020, Valve introduced Half-Life: Alyx, a virtual reality game, marking the latest installment in the series after many years, and it took place within the timeline of Half-Life 2.

It seems Valve has been trying for years to develop a third game, but they’ve struggled to find a suitable direction for it. Their philosophy has consistently emphasized mechanics and innovation over simply continuing a narrative. However, recent developments might be signaling a shift in this approach.

We shall see.
