For many years, it seemed that Valve was not actually doing anything – only managing Steam and adding new cases to Counter-Strike. As it turned out, this is not the case. And it’s not just about the development of Deadlock.
Hopoo Games (Risk of Rain) studio has suddenly announced that it has joined Newell’s team. The company will soon be disbanded, support for current titles will be curtailed, and its writing staff will join the staff of the corporation known for Half-Life and Team Fortress 2. In addition, the production of the unannounced Snail game, alas, has been completed.
As part of Valve, the team will take on a new project. Which one is not yet clear. Recall that a similar story happened in 2018: Newell and Co. absorbed Campo Santo (Firewatch), and its employees went to work on Half-Life: Alyx.
