Valve Developer Mistakenly Mentions Rumored Half-Life 3 Codename

✍️ What we know so far

Automatic note by LuaCat Games, built from what we know about the coverage (who reported it, how many sites, the story’s history) — not a translation or copy of the source.

The report is IGN's, on its own for now. They usually verify before posting. Since 2007 the Half-Life community has been living on scraps — which is why any movement becomes news. Park the excitement for now: nobody has made it official.

Bottom line: The core of it should hold; if another outlet tells it differently, that shows up below.
