In early March, Valve designer Greg Coomer personally confirmed that Valve had multiple games in development. While he didn't reveal any other details exactly, it was certainly quite heartening news for fans. At the same time, with the release of Steam Deck, Valve also launched a free-to-play game, Aperture Technology Workers, although the game is based on the worldview of Portal, Greg Coomer emphasizes that this is obviously not Portal 3.
The main purpose of Aperture Desk Job is to allow players to try out the various features of Steam Deck, which is positioned similar to the PS5's own game "Astronaut's Recreation Room". However, what people did not expect was that some experts carried out data mining on the background files of "Aperture Technology Part-time Work" and obtained relevant information about Valve's four undisclosed games. Greg Coomer really isn't lying!
The above news was made public by Tyler McVicker, a well-known journalist in the industry, who said that the backstage file of "Aperture Technology Work" tailored for Steam Deck contains the content of four mysterious works, namely "Citadel", "CS:GO" created by source 2 engine, "Half-Life: Alyx" sequel and a "Portal" series of games (previously cut). As for the specific situation, the doctor took you to see.
"Tyler McVicker" said: The excavated documents are as many as 70 pages, of which "Citadel" is currently a product with more details and information. Its worldview seems to follow the Half-Life series, which focuses on the conflict between the synth and the rebels. Players will take on the role of a commander in charge of commanding a large number of AI robots, and we can either deploy strategically using a bird's-eye view of traditional real-time strategy or directly operating units for tactical combat!
Citadel features a variety of AI robots that have so-called "moods" and "memories" and can react and respond differently. Of course, robots can also use a variety of weapons and upgrades. It is reported that some of these systems seem to imply that this game may be a VR game, but the hardware requirements are not high.
In addition to Citadel, there are three new titles in the material. The current popular product "CS:GO" is likely to be remade with the Source 2 engine; and "Half-Life: Alyx" has sold well after the launch of the word-of-mouth sales, and it is natural to launch a sequel; there are many words related to "SteamPal" in the material, which should be a remastered version of the sequel "F-Shop" that was cancelled by "Portal" on steam Deck.
Of course, the above information and judgment are only a possibility, and even if these products exist, we still cannot determine their development status. Some products may be under development and will meet with players after a while, while some products are just a concept or demo, and will not eventually enter the formal production stage, so it is good to take a look. However, the doctor is disappointed that even with such gossip, there is still no information about "Half-Life" and "The Road to Survival" counting to three!
To sum up, Citadel still looks quite interesting, it should be a new game in Greg Coomer's mouth!
