Valve is a very stubborn company when it comes to talking about its new games. They would not talk about a game even a minute before it is revealed. And that is why every single one of their games has come as a surprise to their fans.

Their previously launched mainline game in the Half-Life series was the excellent Half-Life: Alyx. Alyx, to everyone’s surprise, was a VR-only title. At first, people were pretty disappointed; to many, it seemed like a way to sell their latest VR hardware. But the game was a phenomenal success. It was lauded for its gameplay and the way it looked.
