14 DAY TRIAL // A number of volunteer mods on the official forums of Valve have supported the authenticity of the shots.
Smash wrote that, “I know who the source is, but I’m not going to give it away just yet for exclusivity reasons.”
Oscar Sierra added, “Well, tis legit. Awesomes. Hats off to ValveTime.net for the scoop. I wonder will Valve officially comment on these pictures?”
The images were leaked earlier by ValveTime and the fan website also stressed that the images are real and that they would not release them to the public as long as they were not sure.
The shots were taken from an album that has since been taken down and show Alyx in various poses.
It’s not clear whether the images are linked to a possible Episode 3 for Half-Life 2 or to a full-fledged Half-Life 3.
Valve has a policy of not talking about future projects, but the company has promised that, as soon as an internal decision is made, it will talk about the future of the well-known series.
