Valve developer accidentally confirms 'HLX' during panel

Valve developer Mike Morasky mentioned HLX alongside Deadlock as one of the studio's two biggest projects during a sound design panel. He later denied HLX exists, but Source 2 code strings point to a new Half-Life that, unlike Alyx, won't be VR-only.

• Morasky named HLX alongside Deadlock as a major Valve project
• A colleague whispered: 'good job, you only mentioned HLX once'
• HLX is the next Half-Life, not VR-only
• The game reportedly underwent playtests late last year
