Three "big announcements" from Valve in next 12 months, says Gabe

Does one of them begin with E and end with pisode Three?

Valve boss Gabe Newell has said the developer has three "big announcements" coming in the next year.

Jebus prays for Ep Three.

"I can guarantee you people are going to be surprised at stuff we do. That isn't going to stop any time soon," Newell told PC Gamer.

"I'm just laughing because... people will be shocked again."

He added: "We have three pretty big surprises in the next 12 months at least."

Half-Life 2: Ep Three has been in development for a long time, with virtually nothing shown.

Valve said it had a massive surprise for E3 involving Portal 2, but had cancelled it before it took place, only to end up with Gabe appearing at Sony's presser to announce the game for PS3.

Now, do it again, only sooner. And with Episode Three.
