For gamers still expecting a Half Life 3 release date anouncement soon, new reports claimed that Valve could just be waiting for a very specific time to reveal the highly anticipated launch.

In an article published by Motoring Crunch, it was suggested that fans' consipracy theories could actually have a hand in the game's release.

"There are two things Half Life fans can learn from this. The first is that Valve likes to announce an upcoming title in a fun way and the second is that Valve is probably waiting for fans to come out with the right theory before confirming Half Life 3 to be in production."

"With that being said, fans of the Half Life franchise shouldn't stop coming up with conspiracy theories for Half Life 3."

Valve's co-founder Gabe Newell recently addressed Half Life 3 release date rumors saying that nothing is currently being developed, and should the game materialize, it won't be anytime soon.

It was previously reported that Swedish video game store Webhallen announced the Half Life 3 release date on their website, stating a 2015 launch.

As Master Herald reported, "Half-Life 3 may exist. Whether it's true or not, this is being suggested by Swedish Videogame Store Webhallen, where recently a brand new retail listing has been found. According to the information provided in the barebones product page, it seems that we may get to experience a 2015 release for the PC platform."

"Webhallen is a relatively popular games retailer. As a result of which this newly released rumor could still be genuine. From 2005-2013, the entire chain was owned by Amazon itself. Till date, it consists of nine different Swedish stores along with a well-referenced online marketplace."

"Although this sounds quite in reference to places like GameStop in the U.S, it is still a well-managed distribution channel for Sweden. Swedish Gamers surely trust the branding of 'Webhallen'. However, it remains to be seen whether the rest of the world should."
