Half-Life 2: Episode Three is a cancelled game that was planned as the final installment in the Half-Life 2 episodic trilogy.
Half-Life 2: Episode Three is a cancelled first-person shooter game that was formerly under development by Valve. Planned to be the last entry in a trilogy of episodic games continuing the story of Half-Life 2, it was widely anticipated by fans due to the cliffhanger ending of the previous episode. It later entered development hell before being effectively cancelled due to Valve’s abandonment of episodic game development.
A 2016 attempt by series writer Marc Laidlaw to tell a similar continuation in virtual reality, Borealis, was also cancelled. After he left the company, he published a short story, “Epistle 3”, which laid out a possible storyline for Episode Three. The story followed protagonist Gordon Freeman as he journeyed to the Arctic and boarded the Borealis, an experimental vessel created by Aperture Science that was hinted at in previous episodes as well as the Portal series, in order to attempt to teleport to and destroy the seat of the alien Combine Empire. While Gordon survives and is freed from the G-Man’s control, he ultimately fails to save Earth, and Alyx Vance replaces him as the G-Man’s prisoner.
The revelation of the short story prompted attempts to create a fan-made version of the episode, although they did not yet come to fruition. Due to the prominence of the Half-Life series and its episodes, as well as the high degree of anticipation for the episode itself, Episode Three remains one of the most famous cliffhangers in gaming history, as well as an Internet meme in the form of supposed confirmations of the episode or a sequel in general.
