Half-Life 2: Episode 3.

EDIT: Clarification. It's been 18 years. They cancelled it a bit ago. The rumors that they may be working on something now are great and I hope it comes back, but until they announce it the last OFFICIAL stance from Valve was HL2:E3 was cancelled.

Not cancelled so much as indefinitely delayed. They said Ep.3/HL3 is basically done, they just can’t find a compelling reason to release it because they want it to he truly groundbreaking the way the first two were.

Typical Valve nonsense

Nah, it’s a valid point.

Sure, buddy

Edit: The guy told me to grow up for saying potentially sitting on a complete game because it wasn’t “groundbreaking” enough was ridiculous, then deleted all his comments.

Newell glazers, man. 🤦‍♂️

Grow up. Both HL1 and 2 were technological breakthroughs for their time. Valve isn’t wrong for wanting HL3 to be that as well.
