Valve wrote gaming history with “Half-Life 2”. In the past few years, games were rarely developed by the operator of Steam itself. This could change soon: CEO Gabe Newell gave in one
Interview with the website 1 News
announced that there are currently several games in development at Valve. The work on the VR game “Half-Live: Alyx” has had very good experiences. It’s fun to finally be releasing single-player games again. According to Newell, the success of the game has spurred Valve to work on more games.
However, Newell did not provide any specific information about the new games from Valve. In the rumor mill, the project called “Citadel” has long been the next big hit from Valve. In the code of the Dota 2 engine Source 2, resourceful users discovered references to this title, which should contain sneaking elements, pathfinding and a mini map. The Valve boss did not want to comment on this. He protested that he had never heard of this project. Internally, one would use a large number of code names that also change frequently. Valve apparently wants to focus on games with a strong single player component in the future. This represents a change of direction, after all, the group had been able to inspire a large number of players in recent years with multiplayer titles such as “Dota 2” or “Counter-Strike: Global Offensive”.
