So maybe it's not the precise Valve game with a 3 in it that we're waiting for. Still, any news of a 3 coming out of Valve within our lifetimes is probably good news. In this case, it's a hint of zombie shooter Left 4 Dead 3, revealed in an image of a Valve employee's folder directory.
ValveTime, a Valve fansite, posted a screenshot taken from a tutorial by Valve artist Tristan Reidford for Destinations Workshop Tools. In the screenshot, a folder named left4dead3 is visible. You can see it the image below, at the top left of the folders.
I would personally say it's suspiciously conspicuous at the top left of the folders, almost as if the directory had been purposely scrolled down just enough to see it. But who knows?
The following day, the image was replaced with one that did not display the left4dead3 folder. Of course, this isn't the first time rumors of Left 4 Dead 3 have surfaced and most likely won't be the last.

Chris started playing PC games in the 1980s, started writing about them in the early 2000s, and (finally) started getting paid to write about them in the late 2000s. Following a few years as a regular freelancer, PC Gamer hired him in 2014, probably so he'd stop emailing them asking for more work. Chris has a love-hate relationship with survival games and an unhealthy fascination with the inner lives of NPCs. He's also a fan of offbeat simulation games, mods, and ignoring storylines in RPGs so he can make up his own.
