Half-Life 3 will reportedly be the "last chapter of the franchise"

Summary

LEAKER AND INSider Danielrpk claim that Half-Life 3 is designed as the “last chapter” in the series.
Valve is reported to go further than the half -life after unpacking Gordon Freeman's story.
This puts up with what Gabe Follower said earlier this year: Halving Life 3 will be “The End of Gordon's adventure”.

Fans have puzzled the puzzle pieces of data -dialected valve code for several years, cracked the 'HLX' machine to reveal what seems to be half life 3. Appeal leaks claim that it survived the winter game tests and that it is now in the polishing phase, the longest as each iteration of halvering life 3 has received. They even seem to be interested in its story and warn that some fans may not enjoy the direction Gordon Freeman the next chapter takes.

Anyway, after almost two decades it looks like it finally happens: we get a sequel. Just don't expect Half-Life 4.

As reported by Comicbook.com, Insider and Leaker Danielrpk claimed on his Patreon that Valve wants to leave the series behind After Half-Life 3, and that it is designed as “the last chapter in the franchise”. It is worth taking this claim with a grain of salt, given that Danielrpk is not as proven as a delicious game he is with movies, and he is also not known for reporting Valve. That being said, there are some evidence that supports his claim.

“The end of Gordon's adventure”

Earlier this year, the prestigious Ventilla cover Gabe Follower claimed that Half-Life 3 will be the end of Gordon's adventure ”.

Alyx, the time-bending prequel-century, ended with a now resurrected Eli Vance who handed Gordon his crowbar before launching an assignment to save the titular heroine from the connections to the ever-prosperous G-man. All while the rebels compete against Combine to take possession of Aperture Science's interdimensional vessels, Borealis, which is currently located in the Arctic. There are many loose threads to tie up, but it sounds like we will remain with a concrete that ends as opposed to another rocking males.

It would certainly make sense for Valve to retire with its silent protagonist and back up what Danielrpk suggested, but Gabe Follower left the door a little more open: “Maybe we will do [see] Some spin-offs in the Half-Life universe in the future, but the arc of history will end in the game's finale. “

In any case, Half-Life 3 is not even in our hands yet, and just a few years ago, the just the idea of valve that actually develops a sequel felt like an impossibility, can not think of a hypothetical half-life 4. We are closer than ever, and a game that ties up all loose ends can be for the best, rather than risk another.

But Valve hasn't even announced the game yet, so it's not in stone yet. Then again, g-man actor Mike Shapiro teased something For this year.
