What I hope for in 2025 (VALVe). 2025 has arrived and let's go:

- Half-Life 3: After Shapiro (G-Man/Barney's voice actor) posted a video on X, let's see if it will happen.

- Deadlock: Created by Icefrog (Creator of DotA 2), it will probably be released this year (if it is 2026 I at least tried to theorize), as Deadlock's stage in 2024 already seemed complete

- A new era for the Entropy Zero story: Breadmen (Creator of Entropy Zero) may launch betas of Progenitors and Axon Pariah (A Prequel and a Sequel).

- Half-Life Interlude: After PegaXing brought Interlude (I replayed it and beat it... finally), I hope for something good in Interlude.

- REMEMBERING GUYS: SOME OF THESE EVENTS MAY NOT HAPPEN, I LOOKED AT THE NEWS SCENARIO SURROUNDING THIS AND THIS IS MY CONCLUSION BUT I REPEAT, EVERYTHING I SAID ABOVE MAY NOT HAPPEN!

Everything we now about what is VALVe doing or may be doing right now based on information obtained by data mining. It's in russian, but you can turn on the subtitles translation.

(Edited)
This year marks 20 years of Half-Life 2 and the Source Engine! I believe that VALVe will do a 20th anniversary update of HL2 as well as the 25th anniversary update of HL1. If I were the Boss of VALVe (Like Lord Gaben), I wouldn't repeat the same thing as the 25th anniversary update of HL. Not that I would do it or think it's bad, I would do it better, like instead of focusing on HL1, for HL2 I would do:

-Fix UI Bugs and UI adapted to 16K (Because there is a 16K TV) for the menu and the option to use the Steam Deck interface (Recently, Doom 1+2 uses the option to use 1990s UI);

-Fix the LDR that doesn't exist in some stages of HL2 (Only the mods that fixed this);

-Correct/Update CSS, DODS, TF2, GMOD, Portal 1+2 and L4D 1+2 so that we will have the same treatment as HL2;

-Update SFM to Source 2 (So that SFM would be updated and free, while VALVe's own games would have their own version of SFM), while the old SFM would be ported to TF2 (I was inspired by the idea from Half-Life Alyx, where there is the option to use S2FM and Hammer 5), TF2 having SFM within it is really cool as it is the same quality as SFM from 2012, but updated and modernized, I would be inspired by Blender and Maya 3D (I would do the same thing with HL2, DODS, Portal 1+2, CSS etc);

-Hammer 4 would receive an update for map creation;

-And also a documentary about HL2 as it revolutionized gaming better than HL1;

It would be an update focused on Source Engine/Half-Life 2 Legacy (While last year it was HL1);

What did you think? Agree or Disagree? If you were Lord Gaben, would you update as I said above or do it your way?
