HL X/3 will release post 2026

Given that we're in June already and assuming HLX is actually a thing, it's extremely unlikely HLX/3 will release this year. With a jam packed end of year for AAA and indie game releases it would make no sense unless they reveal it now and release within the next 2 months or so. Alot of people will say Valve don't care about other game releases or the time of year but they are not stupid either. Also considering Tyler Mcvicker and other "leakers" have been totally wrong with their predictions, saying last year that by this time in 2026 we would have all played the game and all the mods. It's safe to say no one knows, and it seems more likely to be a 2027 release at the very earliest.
