Half Life: Alyx was officially announced yesterday, with a gameplay trailer that we covered in this specific article. The community was pleasantly impressed by the way the game was presented, although many did not like that it was a PC exclusive for SteamVR, which considerably limits the audience that will be able to use the product. Today however, a direct statement by Valve has reopened the hearts of many fans who were waiting for a possible Half-Life 3 for a very long time now.
It's probably no surprise that many people at Valve have been wanting to get back to the Half-Life universe for a long time, and this experience has only reinforced that. In the process of creating Half-Life: Alyx, we've had to explore new ways to tell stories with these characters and this world, and we've discovered a lot of new gameplay experiences that go beyond what we've been able to do before. Of course, we'll have to wait and see how people react to Half-Life: Alyx once it's out, but we'd love to continue pushing forward.

The statement therefore speaks of a possible continuation of the saga, which could probably happen just in case Valve feedback of the good sales figures regarding his new work.
