New leaks suggest Half-Life 3 is indeed real and a massive step for the series, though that doesn't mean you'll ever get to play it. (www.pcgamesn.com)

So how did these leaks come about? Well, according to the insider, there are various mentions of Half-Life in the files of other Valve games, including Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and Deadlock. For example, a mention of HLX is included in Deadlock’s bug-reporter config files, which is similar to how Counter-Strike 2 was included in Dota 2’s bug-reporter files three years prior to its official unveiling. Likewise, Deadlock also includes references to the iconic HEV suit, gravity gun, and Xen creatures, the first of which has been renamed to the Burbank suit in the game’s files.

Uh huh. So this article is just a pile of bullshit.

There used to be one of these almost every time a Valve game got updated.

I'm absolutely shocked that the journalism at "pcgamesn.com" is of low quality. Well, not that shocked.

Correct.

Yesterday Yoshi (valve dev that seems to be running deadlock - he is the one doing all the announcements on the discord) posted a video showing super early deadlock footage on how far they have come.

The old footage used a stack of old models and items that were left over from other games. This is all that is

Uh huh. So this article is just a pile of bullshit.

Author confuses data mining with leaking. The article would be clearer if named correctly.

Yeah, as much as I want it to be real, they have clearly stated that there are assets from previous games as placeholders. The interesting part is them changing the name of the suit, but not holding my breath at all.
