Valve dev accidentally slips the existence of HLX (rumored next Half-Life game)

[G2ThaUNiT]

The way Alyx ended, it was clear that Valve would continue the Half-Life series in some sort of way. HLX has been brought up numerous times over the course of this past year in game files and datamining, as well as by a recently retired Valve engineer named Chris Green who responded in an AMA to someone asking about HLX with, “Can you give any info on the HLX project? wink wink.” to which Chris Green responded “I think you know the answer to that ”

Nothing too major by itself as Green was working on an undisclosed project and obviously couldn't say anything about what he was working on, but the hopium started to die out until......today!

During a Q&A Mike Morasky accidentally slipped the existence of HLX in the clip below. He's in the middle of pointing out that Deadlock had its own version of HDR, but then mentions that HLX has its own version of HDR. Apparently, after he made this comment, someone next to him said "Nice Work"

The hopium has returned!!!

Mike Morasky, a developer from Valve, directly mentioned HLX (rumored to be Half-Life 3) during his Q&A session. pic.twitter.com/6ZeaYaD9tb
