Half-Life 2: Episode Three source code leaked — fans will try to build the game instead of Valve
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
Fans have been waiting for Half-Life 3 for many years and begging Valve to continue the story. However, an official release of Half-Life 2: Episode Three has yet to materialize.
Over the intervening years, fan “sequels” have already appeared, some of them built based on the “Epistle 3” story by writer Marc Laidlaw. But now fan mods could reach the next level, as Valve has suffered another leak.
Earlier this year, enthusiasts got their hands on the source code for F-stop — the cancelled prequel to the Portal franchise — and now dataminer Gabe Follower has pointed out a leak of the Half-Life 2: Episode Three source code:
Some chunks of Half-Life 2: Episode 3 source code have just been leaked, including experiments with several weapons and enemies, such as Blobulator and Weaponizer.
While it's hard to imagine these fragments will enable a full-fledged version of Half-Life 3, modders could very well put together a playable demo thanks to AI technologies, or extract assets that will help improve unofficial sequels.
Not only did the source code leak, but early models from Half-Life 2 soon appeared online as well, such as the antlion king.
