Cannot believe people are still talking about this 20 years later...

People still want a good Star Wars sequel.
Hope burns long.

But has it been designed to be the final Episode?

HL3:EP1 confirmed.

If Alyx required a VR headset, Half-Life 3 is gonna require that brainchip.

Pass.

Especially if it's anything like the story of Alyx.

edit: Apparently, not liking a fanfiction.net tier story that undoes the emotionally charged ending of the last game and brings back a character who's voice acgtor died is a contentious opinion. Well, it's not like new-Valve gives a shit about VAs reprising their roles. They couldn't be bother to ask Merle Dandridge to come back in any capacity.

Hey, I'll take anything over being stuck on the cliffhanger of Eli's death for 20 years, and wrap up the whole Combine story as best as possible.

As TachyonTele suggested, you may want to play or read into Half Life Alyx. Time travel got involved.

If possible, I recommend giving Alyx a go, even if you have to borrow a headset, visit a friend, arcade, ect.

Not an option for everyone of course, Alyx aside VR is fun and while the entry requirements are getting lower it's still a leap.

Valve will probably summarise the main story change in HL3, which will be a very WTF moment that's kinda on brand with the scenario.

I watched a story recap on yt.

I’ve heard there are mods to play it on a flat screen. Obvs you’d lose a lot of the experience, but that would be a way to get the story.
