This market will resolve to if Valve publicly and explicitly announces that a new Half-Life game is in production by the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". To qualify for a "Yes" resolution, the game must be explicitly acknowledged by Valve to be an installment of the Half-Life franchise or have the words "Half-Life" in the title. Updates to and expansion packs for already-released games will not be sufficient to resolve this market to "Yes". An announcement by Valve of a new qualifying game before this market's end date will immediately resolve this market to "Yes", regardless of when the announced game becomes available to the public. The resolution source for this market will be official information from Valve or a consensus of credible sources.Trader sentiment hinges on unverified rumors positioning Valve as the overwhelming favorite to develop the next Half-Life game, fueled by datamining discoveries like "hlx_physics_particle_spawner" in recent CS2 beta updates and a Valve artist's April podcast slip alluding to an active project room. No official announcement has emerged despite hype around Valve's Steam Machine hardware launch targeted for early 2026, where insiders speculate Half-Life 3 could serve as a flagship title. Historical leaks have repeatedly fizzled, underscoring the IP owner's secrecy; distinguish these whispers from confirmed news. Watch Summer Game Fest in June or Steam Deck successor reveals as potential catalysts that could confirm a developer and shift market-implied odds dramatically.
