Assets and source code from the cancelled Half-Life 2: Episode Three reportedly leaked online on November 9. The leak, which appeared on a platform focused on studying the Portal 2 beta, also includes previously unreleased beta maps for Portal 2. Reports say the material may include development files from 2008, 2012, or 2015.

The leaked Episode Three code reportedly preserves experiments involving enemies and weapons, such as the liquid-based Blobulator and the Weaponizer. Early Half-Life 2 models, including a reference for a cut Antlion King boss, have also appeared. The material may contain spoilers regarding the cancelled game's development and story.

The files do not appear to be connected to HLX, a rumored unannounced Valve project. While players have previously found references to HLX in the Source 2 engine, Valve has not officially announced a new Half-Life game. There is no complete or playable build included in the leak.
