Valve Plans For More Half-Life Beyond Episode 3

Posted by Zonk on from the hang-on-to-your-crowbar-indeed dept.

Ars Technica notes, via an interview at the StuffWeLike site, comments from Valve's Doug Lombardi indicating that the company has plans to continue the Half-Life series beyond Half-Life 2 Episode 3 . "While most sites are taking this as a confirmation of Half-Life 3, the quote is not a definitive on anything other than the continuation of the series. And, of course, there hasn't ever been so much as a rumor hinting at Half-Life's demise. As what is arguably the biggest franchise on the PC platform, there is no reason for Valve to stop producing the crowbar-swingin' good times."

    And now for all the jokes relating the number of half-life sequels to some periodic radioactive decay!

      All right, the original was released in '98. Half Life 2 was released in '04, Episode 1 in '06, and Episode 2 in '07. It appears to be accelerating. At this rate, our children will be able to play nothing but half life sequels!

    Yes yes, news that a sequel to a huge well selling franchise might be coming. Obvious cat is obvious!
