Don't take the following content seriously.
First of all, I can't explain the source in public at once, but some of the community's speculations in recent days are correct.
If ValveTime is taken into account, for example, the entire game is abandoned for release this year and postponed to next year.
But normally， the earliest announcement date this year is July 16, Seattle time, and no later than September. If it is later than September, it is highly likely that Valve will abandon the announcement and release of Half-Life this year.
In February, I told Tyler and Gabe Follower about the announcement date.
Mikeshapiroland's hint is true, not a play on words.
Around November last year, Valve finalized the release cycle and plan.
Valve's release window for HLX is limited to about 125 days.
Hideo Kojima went to Seattle at the end of October last year, visited Valve and played the game. At the same time, some senior industry insiders were invited to participate.
There is a huge plan inside Valve, which some of them jokingly call "Valve.Next", which is similar to the concept of Valve's next generation. There are many projects in it, including HLX, Deckard, HLVR and a lot of new concepts.
Valve's Red Era refers to the Valve 2.0 period starting in 2018. Gabe reshaped the entire company and ended the Savage Era. The White Era ended with the first failure of the development of Half-Life 3 from 2013 to 2015. The color distinction comes from the LOGO. Valve changed its headquarters for this and completely modernized.
Especially in the hardware business, they completely reshaped their position in the market, began to fully enter the hardware business, and carried out drastic reforms internally, which is equivalent to a soft restart.
Valve Next is the main representative product of Valve's Red Era.
They very much hope to announce the hardware and several games together, similar to Orange Box 2.0, hoping to surprise people.
But everything is based on actual needs. If they are not satisfied at the last minute, they will choose to change the release date at any time, such as asking HLX to cancel the announced release dates in July and November and change them to next year
