Valve: Half-Life 2 Episode Three ramping up, Episode Two ramping down
It appears that Valve has jumped the gun and set to work on Half-Life 2 Episode Three at the end stages of Episode Two (for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3), following a check up by EuroGamer on Valve Software. Apparently Doug Lombardi, marketing director, mentioned that they were on the pre-production stages for Episode Three.
“Pre-production is definitely going, and it’ll be ramping up rather quickly now that they’re ramping down on Episode Two,” Lombardi told EuroGamer. But before someone yells out “Finish Episode Two first, Valve!” at the top of their lungs, Lombardi added that pre-production is currently in the hands of a “skeleton” production crew.
Valve estimates an October release for Episode Two, although they alternate their time and focus on both episodes. If you’ve followed PC Gamer UK‘s speculations of an Artic end-game for Episode Three, Valve will neither confirm or deny the rumors, says the report.
But for certain, Valve reassures that fans won’t be heading back to City 17 soon. “I don’t think you’ll head back to City 17, for sure. Not in Episode Three, anyway,” Lombardi said.
