Will Half-Life 3 be announced before 2027?

Prediction market · Polymarket

Overview

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Valve publicly and explicitly announces that Half-Life 3 is in production by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". The announcement of the creation of any expansion or sequel not explicitly named "Half-Life 3" (e.g., Half-Life: Alyx, Half-Life 2: Episode One) will not be sufficient to qualify this market toward a "Yes" resolution. The game must have the words "Half-Life 3" in the title to qualify. The resolution source for this market will be official information from Valve or a consensus of credible sources.

    "context_description": "Trader sentiment on a Half-Life 3 announcement before 2027 remains tightly balanced at 50.5% implied probability for Yes, reflecting Valve's signature secrecy clashing with persistent insider leaks and hardware hype. Recent fuel includes February 2026 discoveries of apparent Half-Life 3 assets in Valve's Deadlock beta and leaker Tyler McVicker's reiterated claim of a likely 2026 reveal, tied to the Steam Machine console launch earlier this year—yet no official confirmation materialized, echoing \"Valve Time\" delays and a veteran developer's scorn for premature completion rumors. This wisdom-of-crowds standoff persists amid unfulfilled Game Awards teases last December. Key tipping points: Gabe Newell interviews, Summer Game Fest (June), or Steam Deck 2/Steam Machine firmware updates signaling new IP momentum.",
