>Dota 2 analyst/dataminer Degaz >I read somewhere that the developers didn’t manage to finish the new Dota hero because of Deadlock. That’s close to the truth, but not entirely. Right now, the majority of the Dota 2 and CS2 teams are actually working on Valve’s new shooter. But it’s not Deadlock, it’s a new Half-Life project (codenamed HLX).>Many of the Deadlock developers have also been temporarily moved to help polish HLX which is why there’s been a big delay between updates there too.>Judging by the pace, the main stage of development is already close to completion, so the dev teams will likely start shifting back to their projects soon.>Overall, the situation is very similar to the period of active development on Half-Life: Alyx, when there was a complete lull in other projects. The difference this time is that there seems to be a strong effort to reduce crunch. https://www.reddit.com/r/HalfLife/comments/1ni5tjh/interesting_take_on_hlx_development/
Everyone knows that. Dota also had a slow patch cycle before Alyx was announced.
>>720803969Wonder if they'd announce it on some tweet like the last time, or if they'll hype it up in game events like The Game Awards for big impact. Personally as much as people like to meme them to shadowdrop it, I feel like it'll be a bit of a cop out.
>>720804540HL3 is a biggest announcement than Alyx, I don't see them announcing it with a tweet, Game Awards announcement is possible
look, every time valve does something some internet rando comes out of the woodwork to claim it's actually 100% totally for realsies this time due to half life. I just don't care anymore. if it actually comes out, then great, but until then, I ain't believin SHIT
