During a recent developer panel dedicated to video game audio, longtime Valve composer Mike Morasky mentioned two of the company’s games while answering a question: Deadlock and “HLX.” The problem: One of those, HLX, is not the name of any officially announced Valve game, but rather is believed by fans to be the internal, non-public codename for the yet-to-be-announced Half-Life 3. I can imagine that Morasky just sort of forgot that HLX isn’t actually a publicly announced Valve project. Could Half-Life 3 be announced later this year?
