Although Episode Three was to be the last Valve-developed episodic Half-Life 2 title, senior members of Valve Corporation have confirmed that Episode Three would not have been the end of the Half-Life franchise. Half-Life 2: Episode Three was to be the third episode in the Half-Life 2 story arc, and the final entry in the Half-Life 2 series to follow protagonist Gordon Freeman as he leads a human resistance against the Combine forces.
