Fans of the famous game, Half-Life, are still unsure if they should be waiting for a Half-Life 3, though a Swedish video game store has predicted that the game will be available in 2015 for PC platforms.

Webhallen has posted in its product page that "Half-Life 3" will be available in 2015, despite the uncertainty of its existence. The critically applauded Half-Life 2 has formed the standard for first-person shooter games in 2004. Fans of its developer, Valve, have been begging for the creation of a third version. A decade has passed and there is still no evidence that there is actually a Half-Life 3, though many industry enthusiasts think that it's all a shot in the moon.

There is actually a direct mention of Half-Life 3, when Counter-Strike creator, Minh Le, confirmed over the summer that the game is being developed in some vague levels. In the interview, Le states that h saw a concept art that "at the very least," looked like it came from the "Half-Life universe."

Though still a rumor and filled with many kinds of speculations, the listing at Webhallen broke all assumptions and theories of its existence. Though the listing is present, the authenticity of the post is still unsure, since the information on Webhallen's website regarding the said release seems barren and unfruitful.

Even with this, Half-Life fans can look forward to something since Webhallen is a popular and credible games retailer in Sweden. From 2005 to 2013, Webhallen was actually owned by Amazon, the world's most popular shopping website. Webhallen is currently made up of nine Swedish stores as well as an online marketplace.

Even with Webhallen's credentials as a legit retailer, U.S. game retailers such as GameStop still has no word regarding Half-Life 3.
