    The wait for Half-Life 3 is longer.

      I think a game has to actually release to break this record. And in the article, Purchese points out that the current record holder is Duke Nukem Forever, while Beyond Good & Evil 2 might break the record if it ever actually comes out.

          Announced in 1997, released in 2000. Might’ve seemed like a lot at the time, but barely a footnote by today’s standards.

      The wait is nothing, though I guess the definition of “active development”, publicly confirmed development etc… To my knowledge HL3 has been in some form of development since, HL2, but to my knowledge there’s only been “leaks” rather than any official confirmation, and the joke teaser as valve goes to game event after game event without making announcements.

        Rockstar has repeatedly reminded us that GTA6 is in active development. Valve hasn’t even mentioned HL3 in a very long time, I think it’s safe to conclude it’s dead and has been dead for a while now.

          Tbf, I dont think they’ve ever explicitly mentioned it being in development – unless you technically mean Episode 3

            Anything with a 3 in the title from Valve would cause waves at this point, doesn’t matter what the words prior are.
