| {{hl2ep3|4}} is a cancelled game that was intended to wrap up the {{hl2|4}} Episodic Trilogy. Announced in May 2006 with a supposed release of 2007, it was one of the most anticipated video games of all time, but ended up becoming an infamous case of [[Wikipedia:Vaporware|vaporware]]{{ref|1}}. Any chance of the game being released was diminished with the release of {{hla|4}} in 2020, which retconned the ending of {{ep2|4}}.

| Similarly, {{hl3|4|nt=3}} was in development at some point in 2013-2014, which was planned to use procedurally generated levels, but it's was also cancelled early in development as the {{source2|4}} engine at the time was unfinished{{ref|2}}.
