Valve Employee Seemingly Slips Up And Says Rumored Half-Life 3 Codename On Stage

During a recent developer panel dedicated to video game audio, longtime Valve composer Mike Morasky mentioned two of the company’s games while answering a question: Deadlock and “HLX.” The problem: One of those, HLX, is not the name of any officially announced Valve game, but rather is believed by fans to be the internal, non-public codename for the yet-to-be-announced Half-Life 3. Oops!

On October 21, as spotted by longtime Valve reporter Tyler McVicker, during GameSoundCon, Valve sound designers David Feise and Carlye Nyte were part of a panel about how sound and music work in Source 2. Also part of that panel was Mike Morasky. And when asked a question about Source 2’s open and flexible sound system and how it connects with other parts of the engine, Morasky casually said this:

“And in fact, I think Deadlock has their own version of HDR. You know, HLX has its own version, so on and so forth.”

Unless you are someone who has been following the last few years of Valve datamining and leaks, you’ll have no idea what HLX is because it hasn’t been officially announced, teased, or even hinted at by the company at all. Fans only know about HLX thanks to over five years of datamining other Valve games for updates on the progress of what is reportedly the next mainline entry in the Half-Life series and which is believed to be Half-Life 3 .
