Team Fortress 2 star teases new project with Valve

Crew Fortress 2 Sniper actor John Lowrie is again at Valve and dealing on a brand new undertaking. With Team Fortress 2 now 16 years outdated (oof, that hurts), the considered one thing new for the FPS game is tantalizing. However maybe it’s even larger. Lowrie tells followers to “keep calm,” however he’s additionally lent his skills to Half Life 2 and Left 4 Useless, and his associate and common collaborator is after all, Ellen McLain, aka, GLaDOS from Portal. I don’t need to get too excited right here, however we’ve got been ready on Half-Life 3 for a fairly very long time now. Do I dare to dream?

The complete Crew Fortress 2 forged has been fairly busy currently, filming the splendidly absurd and, frankly, artistically groundbreaking ‘Quest for Sandvich’ net sequence. Lowrie and McLain are two of the celebrities, alongside Gary Schwartz who voices the Demoman and the Heavy, Dennis Bateman, who’s behind the Spy and the Pyro, and Robin Atkin Downes, who does the Medic.

Now, nevertheless, Lowrie is formally again at Valve, and dealing on one thing new. Maybe Crew Fortress 2 is getting some new dialogue. Maybe it’s linked to the Counter-Strike 2 release date. Or perhaps we go even larger, and there’s a brand new Half-Life, a brand new Portal, a brand new Left 4 Useless, or one thing model new totally. We’re not likely following Lowrie’s recommendation…

“Okay, you need to promise to remain calm,” the actor says. “Again out at Valve right this moment and, like all voice actors, can’t say something particular. You’re the best followers on the planet. Thanks for hanging with me.”

If I do some quite simple arithmetic right here, I attain a probably very thrilling conclusion. Let’s use the ability of deductive reasoning, primarily based upon sure goal truths. John Lowrie is an actor. Actors carry out dialogue. Dialogue is commonly utilized in videogames. Valve is an organization that creates videogames.

Subsequently, by all rational inference and commentary, it may fairly be assumed that Half-Life 3 is unquestionably popping out, that will probably be free on Steam, and that Gabe Newell goes to personally shadow drop it into all of our homes through the subsequent 24 hours.

Alternatively, this could possibly be one thing else entirey. However Lowrie being again at Valve and dealing on something is sweet information, so we’ll preserve an eye fixed out and preserve you posted. Bear in mind, it was solely earlier this yr that Counter-Strike 2 appeared like an inconceivable dream…

If you happen to’re a giant Valve, Crew Fortress 2, and Half-Life fan, you may need to strive another PC classics and old games which can be nonetheless simple to play right this moment. You too can stay up for all of the tastiest-looking upcoming games, or discover out exactly what happened to Half-Life 3 – which remains to be popping out in the future, I swear.
