Sorry, There Will Be No Valve Games at E3 2011

Hoping for the continuing adventures of Gordon Freeman and the long-awaited revelation of Half-Life 2: Episode Three at this year’s E3? Well, hope a little less today. Valve has said it’s not bringing any games to this year’s expo.

ā€œLots of folks have mailed asking about appointment times with Valve,ā€ reads an e-mail from the company. ā€œWell, we are not showing any titles at this year’s show. So no appointment is needed.ā€

Well, that’s kind of a bummer! We were hoping to see at least something from Dota 2, Valve’s take on Defense of the Ancients, a game we haven’t heard much from lately. But perhaps Valve still has its focus set squarely on the recently released Portal 2 and the game’s forthcoming downloadable content pack.

Maybe there’s an outside chance that Valve will surprise us again with a keynote walk-on like last year or drop a Left 4 Dead 2-style bomb, but… nah, better stop fantasizing…
