HALF LIFE 2 EPISODE 3 RELEASE DATE PC SERIES

In an interview with Edge, Newell noted that Episode Three would probably see a change to survival horror over the franchise's pure action roots. There was also speculation that Aperture Science, and the Portal franchise as a whole, would have played a major role in the game, due to statements by Gabe Newell that Chell would be important to the Half-Life universe, as well as the appearance of the Borealis in Portal 2. As well, concept art and foreshadowing from Episode Two suggested that the game would have been set far away from City 17, perhaps in a heavily icy climate such as the Arctic (hailing back to the original design concept for Half-Life 2), and that the Borealis would have played some role in the story.

Little is known about what the game would have been, save the easy assumption that it would follow the events of Half-Life 2: Episode 2, as well as details gathered from concept art, such as implications that a fight against a Combine Advisor may have been planned at some point. Upon announcement, Episode Three was given a tentative release window of Christmas 2007, however complications and frustrations with the episodic format led Episode Two to release later than planned, and largely uprooted plans for Episode Three. It was known at the time that episodic content for Half-Life 2 was in development, with Gabe Newell stating that he viewed the episodes as being comparable to a third entry in the Half-Life series, however it was not previously known how many entries were planned. Valve originally announced Episode Three in May 2006, shortly before the release of Half-Life 2: Episode One. Although Episode Three was to be the last Valve-developed episodic Half-Life 2 title, senior members of Valve Corporation have confirmed that Episode Three would not have been the end of the Half-Life franchise.
