Valve Were Reportedly Working on a Fighting Game, and This Concept Video Proves They Need to Release It

Valve, known for classics like the Half-Life series, Portal 1 and 2, and Team Fortress 2, has a history of working on intriguing projects that don’t always see the light of day. Many of the team’s projects spend several years in development, only to never be released.

Recently, rumors in the gaming community revealed that the developer had been working on a fighting game. This was initially reported by insider Gabe Follower on X. Although the project has not been officially announced, a similar concept video suggests that this could be something truly spectacular.

, which was made three months ago by Anomidae, gives an exciting peek into what could have been, or might still be a really fun and interesting game. The video showcases intense battles with characters exhibiting unique abilities and fighting styles.

This video highlights characters from Valve’s existing franchises, which would make for a rich and familiar roster. Imagine characters from fan-favorite franchises duking it out in highly detailed, interactive arenas that are also inspired by their respective games. 

The potential for cross-over content alone makes this project exciting for so many fans, especially since it’s something similar to Nintendo’s Smash Bros series. It could also feature unique weapons and mechanics, like the Portal ****. 

Reports suggest that the developer has been experimenting with this fighting game for several years. However, like many of their projects, it seems to be in a state of indefinite development. Valve’s approach often involves a lot of prototyping and iteration, which sometimes means great ideas don’t always reach the public.

While this fighting game ******** unannounced and even potentially canceled, the concept video proves that it has immense potential. The developer has a chance to bring something new and exciting to the fighting game genre, and the gaming community will definitely be more than ready for it.

Why Valve Should Release This Game

Given the developer’s track record, the fighting game has the potential to revolutionize the genre, like Valve often does with its games. Half-Life revolutionized the FPS genre, Team Fortress 2 did the same with multiplayer games, and Portal pushed the boundaries of what a puzzle game can be.

Fighting games are a staple in the gaming world, but they often stick to traditional mechanics. Valve’s entry could introduce new dynamics and storytelling elements, blending the team’s expertise in narrative and gameplay design.

Moreover, the developer has a massive fan base eagerly awaiting new titles. While games like Half Life: Alyx have been extremely well-received, there’s definitely a craving for more content. A fighting game, especially one featuring beloved characters from the iconic developer’s universe, would not only satisfy fans but also attract new players to this interesting concept.

Steam’s vast user base ensures that a new Valve title would get immediate and widespread attention. Integrating the game with Steam’s community features, such as workshops for custom content, could also create a vibrant and creative community around the game, with plenty of customization options as well as fan contributions.
