In an interview with 1 News, Valve boss Gabe Newell confirms that the
company is working on new games, and it could well be solo experiences.
The critical success of Half-Life: Alyx seems to have stirred things up at Valve.

Valve coming back soon for single player games?
If Valve has
developed a few predominantly multiplayer oriented games over the past
few years (Artifact, Dota Underlords, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
and Dota 2), the firm has not offered a real single player experience
since the famous Portal 2 in 2011… Certainly, Half-Life: Alyx came to
change this brilliantly last year, but the game remains intended for the
best equipped players, since only offered in VR.
However, to
believe the words of the boss and creator of Valve, Gabe Newell, in a
long interview with 1 News, it would seem that things are changing
within the firm. Note that by the way, he took the opportunity to defend
the developers of Cyberpunk 2077, evoke the interest of Valve employees
in moving to New Zealand, talk about e-sport, etc.

'It's fun to leave games'
“We definitely have games in
development that we're going to announce - it's fun to release games.
Alyx was great - being back on single player games, it created a lot of
dynamism within the company to do more there ”.
It is still
necessary to know if the firm will decide to stay on the side of virtual
reality to make its Index headset profitable, or if it will return to
more classic games. Will the Half-Life license be the only existing IP
to benefit from new opuses? Forgotten ones like Portal or Left 4 Dead
will they make a comeback alongside, why not, new licenses? Many
questions remain ...
