Interestingly though, their source also revealed that Half-Life 3 has been inspired by the Elder Scrolls series of RPGs and will feature many RPG elements, such as being open-world complete with NPCs and quests. It certainly does not sound like the Half-Life that we remember but who knows, it could work out in Valve’s favor. So now that we know what the game could be like, when will it be released? Apparently not until after 2013 which means that if the rumor is right on point, we have a long way to go before we will see it, but good things come to those who wait, right? Anyway we suggest you take this with a grain of salt for now, but let us know in the comments below on what you think of the rumor anyway!
