Valve music designer Mike Morasky during a panel at GameSoundCon 2026 in Burbank, California might have accidentally revealed the codename for the next Half-Life game.
"In fact, Deadlock has its own version of HDR, HLX has its own version, and so on and so forth," said Morasky (via VideoGamesChronicle).
Valve insiders have been claiming Half-Life 3 is in active development at the company and development has reached a point that testers can play the game from start to finish.
The last Half-Life game, Half-Life: Alyx, released in March 2020.
