Clues in Dota 2 update point to active development
Recent datamining efforts by YouTuber Tyler McVicker suggest Half-Life 3 (codenamed HLX) is nearing completion. A Dota 2 update revealed optimizations like AMD’s FSR 3 support, typically added late in development. McVicker noted AI tweaks, such as adjusting NPC computational load based on proximity to players, signaling final-stage polish rather than early groundwork. Valve’s silence fuels speculation, but these technical breadcrumbs hint at progress.
