Valve: No New Half-Life in 2010

The latest issue of GameInformer is reporting that fans of Half Life will be disappointed if they were looking forwards to seeing a new episode of the long-lived series.

The issue explicitly states that in speaking to Valve, they were told that the company has no plans whatsoever to release the third chapter of Half-Life this year, and that development of the game is still on-going.

At this point, it remains to be seen what Gabe Newell and the rest of the team have in store for PC and console gamers. We can only hope (and pray) that the company makes a showing at this year’s E3 convention to unveil a new title, or two.

In the meantime, Valve has announced its plans to release a new DLC for Left 4 Dead 2 called "The Passing", which includes an all new multiplayer gametype with multiple maps, and a return of the four original Left 4 Dead survivors in a new campaign. Like so many other things in development at Valve, the pricing and release details of the new content are presently unknown.
