Ha🐎lf-Life 3 reportedly isn't in development, ♔but a new Half-Life game for the Steam Deck is.

The new report comes from Valve News Network creator Tyler McVicker, as reported by . According to McVicker, Half-Life 3 isn't in active development, and in fact, no traditional mouse and keyboard FPS games are in active development whatsoever at Valve righ🐼t now. 

What is in development, according to McVicker, is a RTS/FPS co-op game set in the Half-Life universe. This project is described as a "nostalgia-fest" by McVicker, incorporating elements of Left4Dead, Alien Swarm, and RTS games for something that'll show off what the forthcoming 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Steam Deck is capable of.

Through the new PCGamesN report, McVicker reveals that he's obtained the majority of his information 🦂through datamines of regularly-updated Valve software, and has been researching this project, which is codenamed "Citadel," since early 2018. The original report speculates that we should see Citadel w✃ithin the next two to two-and-a-half years.

While we'll be waiting a while to see what comes of this mysterious new project, we won't be waiting so long for the Steam Deck. Although Valve 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:just delayed the new handhe𒆙ld device out of launching later this year in December, it's now slated to launch in February 2022. We've already seen the likes of The Witcher 3 running on the device (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:and it looks really, really good), and we've even gone hands-on with Valve's new device for ourselves, which you can read all about in our full 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Steam Deck preview.
