One of the most anticipated reveals of this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), if not the most anticipated reveal, would have to be official news on something related to Valve Software’s Half-Life franchise.
An announcement of the third entry to the series? News on Half-Life 2: Episode 3, perchance?
If this was the kind of information you were looking forward to at E3 2011 early next month, you’re going to be bitterly disappointed.
From an email being sent out to games press regarding meeting appointments with Valve, written by studio bigwig Doug Lombardi:
- From: “Valve Press” Doug Lombardi
- E3: No Valve Appointment Needed
“Hi,
Lots of folks have mailed asking about appointment times, etc., with Valve.
Well, we are not showing any titles at this year’s show. So no appointment is needed.
Thanks.”
So… no Half-Life 3 announcement at E3? Nothing? Is Valve just toying with our fragile emotions in preparation for some kind of meta-announcement?
Don’t get your hopes up.
