A couple days ago, we reported that Valve would be showing the next Half-Life installment at this year’s E3. It wasn’t just us, either. The internet was abuzz with the story. Well, now it looks like that isn’t true.

According to Doug Lombardi, Valve’s marketing director, the news is simply a “misprint” and Half-Life 2: Episode Three will not be making an appearance at this year’s E3. Instead, the developer will be focusing heavily on Left 4 Dead, including a playable build in a Valve-hosted suite.
