All the rumors, speculations and excitement for Half Life 3 have reached their peak, even on Google Trends. Recently, the game’s 27th anniversary (November 19) passed by and sadly, nothing was announced.

Recently, many rumors and details have been pointing to The Game Awards 2025. Are we finally getting an official reveal next month? Let’s check out more details in this article.

Half Life 3 & Game Awards 2025

Insider Mike Straw from Insider Gaming has revealed some information about the game. According to him, the game might be slated to be announced by the end of 2025, not at the Game Awards.

However, he also mentioned that there is a possibility that Geoff Keighley can pull a miracle deal with Valve.

This is exactly what he mentioned in his tweets:

“As I said in the past, I was told it’s not supposed to be there. So, unless Geoff managed to get them to agree to something, I still think it’s a stand alone.”

So for now, we can consider this as a 50-50% chance for the reveal at the Game Awards, which is going to happen on December 11, 2025.
