'Half-Life 3' release rumors: Third 'Half-Life' game not happening ever?

The game "Half-Life" has been pretty popular amongst gamers even with just two installments. Fans have been hoping for another sequel, and when talks about a new addition to the series hit the Internet, video gamers got overly excited that they started several rumors and speculations about the game. However, new reports suggest that fans may have to hold onto their last "Half-Life 2" discs because the game developer, Valve, may not release another installment ever.
The last installment of the series was released in 2004. It was big back then that players started to speculate that Valve will develop another part of the series, which will supposedly be released in the next few years. However, more than a decade has passed and no announcement has ever been made by the company, which started to suggest that there may never be another "Half-Life" ever.
Fans have also lost their excitement and enthusiasm as news about the game rarely happens nowadays. Nevertheless, many fans still believe that Valve could be preparing something big for them in the next couple of years.
According to some reports, "Half-Life 2" expansion could be in the works now and Valve might be preparing for a big release in 2018. The reports also suggest that the game will be made compatible for the VR platform.
If these rumors prove to be true, the developer would certainly bring the game to a whole new level. Rumor has it that Valve is switching its focus right now to the latest gaming technology and they have set their mind to develop a new "Half-Life" game for it.
Meanwhile, a lot of talks about bringing the video game into the big screen are also circulating online.
As of the moment, nothing is quite certain regarding the next "Half-Life" expansion. All fans can do is wait for Valve to make an official announcement.
