The Game Awards are taking place later today, and as always, you can expect to see some game announcements made during the show. This year, however, there's a little more fervor to it all. Jason Schreier, a known and trusted video game reporter for Bloomberg made a claim that this year's show will have announcements that will stun fans. Appearing on the Kinda Funny Games Daily show, Schreier teased that there will be some exciting reveals for games that are very far off from release, and that, "there will be at least two things that will make you guys react, and be like, 'holy sh*t, I can't believe this thing is here!' At least two things."

What jump-started even more excitement was when Nima Zeighami, the VP of product for Infinite Reality, stated that the rumor they were hearing from around the industry was that Valve's Gabe Newell would attend The Game Awards, and would be there to announce Half-Life 3. Zeighami elaborated that they don't believe it, but that was what was being rumored.

It'll have to be seen to be believed, and you can see if it's all marketing hype or not, when The Game Awards kicks off tonight at 4:30 pm PT/12:30 am GMT.

It'll happen. If Half-Life 3 gets announced, then life is going to change forever.

people settings themselves up for major disappointment again

 

[Jayro]

Gabe Newell should come on stage and have The Count from Sesame Street teach him how to count to 3, and then they show the Lambda HL3 logo on the big screen for the reveal. That would make HISTORY.

Half-Life 2 was perfect as is. Two Half Life means one full life, now we are going to get 1.5 life, which is not a round number...

 

[BigOnYa]

There are also rumors that another GTA VI trailer will air, and MS will announce a few more Call of Duty games coming to Gamepass. I hope both will happen.

Oh shit I didn't realized that.... here's to 50 more years of waiting....

 

[Noctosphere]

Btw, there is this too, a trailer, but... For what?
December big update? Release date? Palworld x Terraria?

 

[Cranesbill]

I will literally hug everyone if everything you guys just said does happen

Yeah starting with SDA

 

[Robert Newbie]

Now there's an idea. Throw in announcements for Left 4 Dead 3, Half-Life Episode 3, Portal 3, and Team Fortress 3 and see what the crowd does.

 

[SDA]

Lol what...

 

[linuxares]

Screw HL3. Give me Portal 3

 

[The Catboy]

Don't do that, don't give me hope

 

[diggeloid]

Yeah, no pressure, but Half Life 3 is probably going to right all the wrongs of the past two decades, and set humanity on the right course towards peace, enlightenment, and discovery. I cannot even imagine a scenario in which war and injustice can co-exist in the same timeline as Half Life 3. I'm not a religious person, but I have been kneeling down to pray every once in a while at my Gaming PC (with Steam open) to ask GabeN to bless us with HL3 before our society collapses.

 

[auntnadia]

I heard Nintendo are going to announce Shaq Fu as the next game for expansion pass victims.

 

[shaunj66]

I don't believe it.

And if I'm wrong, then I also don't think they'll call it Half-Life 3. That would be such a Valve thing to do.

 

[Wolfy]

Damn, can't wait for for all our wildest dreams coming true tonight, we're gonna get every possible 3 we've been waiting for.

HL3, Portal 3, Sonic Adventure 3, Crackdown 3(for reals this time), and everything else I'm missing, can't wait!

 

[supergamer368]

Half-Life 3 is almost definitely NOT getting announced tonight. I think it's too early on in development for that, Valve usually releases stuff not too long after announcing and I doubt it's gonna be ready for 2025. I'd love to be wrong of course, but I just don't see it happening. That said, of course I'm still gonna watch the game awards just so i can get disappointed yet again. 'tis yearly tradition.

I mean we know 100% that a half-life game is in development. There have been multiple signs to the point where it's basically confirmed. However whether that is even close to announcement is completely unknown.

 

[Faust03]

I want them to announce that shadow will be DLC for smash bros ultimate
