VALVE
It’s the absolute longest of long shots, the studio that is just as determined not to make a third game of any franchise they own instead of just making them to appease the fan base, putting an end to one of the longest series of memes in the process. But with a growing interest in both virtual and augmented reality, there’s still a slight chance that Valve will actually release a new game next year instead of just creating more DLC for Team Fortress and DOTA 2 (and, you know, working on Steam).
There’s one thing that Valve haven’t talked yet, and that’s the rumors floating around the future of CS:GO. More specifically, how the incredible success of PUBG might alter the game going forward. Yes, there are suggestions within the community that Valve might introduce their own version of a battle royale mode into the long running Counter-Strike. It’s very much a rumor, but when you think about it, it’s entirely understandable. CS:GO has been a success, but it’s been overshadowed as of late, so what better way to get it back into the mainstream than introduce a whole new experience that hopefully won’t feel too familiar compared to its rivals?
Who knows… just don’t ask about Half-Life 3, that ship seems to have sailed long ago.
