How many times have we been through this? Maybe this time around it’s going to be the real deal…
So, here we are. A brand new Half-Life rumour. This time around coming from Gamescom’s mobile application. A little background to this before we get into speculation town. Gamescom is a yearly video game fair that takes place in the summer. This year, the event will occur between August 23 – August 27 in Cologne, Germany. Video game publishers and developers alike gather at the largest gaming event in Europe to showcase their latest and greatest.
New Half-Life game is seen on Gamescom’s app
As seen in the screenshots above, Redditor ItzDarko42 had a pretty interesting little find, whereas, on Gamescom’s mobile app, Valve Corporation is registered under the Half-Life presentation name. So what does this mean? Well, it could signify a whole lot of things. One of which, is a console launch for Half-Life: Alyx, which would match PlayStation’s new PSVR2 release date earlier this year. It could also mean a new Half-Life VR game, but we’re just speculating now. Or it could simply be a mistake, or a viral marketing “mistake” if you catch my drift.
The Gamescom possibly leaked a new Half Life

I highly doubt Valve would announce a new Half-Life game, like Half-Life 3 for example, via a video game convention or fair. It’s arguably the most anticipated video game in history, they wouldn’t need a platform like Gamescom to launch a new Half-Life game. That’s something for another day when you least expect it. You’ll wake up, open up your YouTube, and bam! There it is in your subscription box “Half-Life 3: Announcement Trailer”.
Now back to reality, virtual reality, Half-Life: Alyx is a fantastic video game, which is story-rich with some twists and turns you couldn’t anticipate. If you haven’t played HL: Alyx yet, you should definitely get a hold of a VR set and try it out while we wait for that trailer.
