They have a game that's been in playtest for over half a year now called Deadlock. Not really my thing, but it's supposed to have a full release late this year or early next. (Plus they released Counterstrike 2 in 2023, but probably fair if you just want to call that an extensive update.)

Fair enough, but IMO putting out platformers and multi-player updates is not the same as building a world and story around a superior FPS.  I've played RPGs with less complex and worse stories, than Half-Life.

My question is, who is writing the story for HL3?  Will we get answers from episode 2?  Are there even any of the original creative minds that made HL left at Valve?  My feeling is we're much more likely to get another Duke Nukem Forever than a worthy HL successor.
