Valve may be working on an ambitious unannounced project with innovative gameplay
Valve may be working on an ambitious game.
This could be inferred from looking at the company's employee profiles on LinkedIn.
Specifically, former Valve designer Michael Anderson mentioned on his LinkedIn page that he is working on an "ambitious and innovative gameplay" project as a level designer. He also mentioned that he has been "creating puzzles from scratch" since 2021.
For his part, Valve artist Boyang Zhu has been working on an unannounced project since 2022.
It's hard to draw conclusions from Valve's employee profiles, and it's not even clear if the projects are related. The American company's team is constantly experimenting with formats, genres and gameplay features, and most of these developments are never put into practice.
Or maybe Valve is really working on some ambitious project, especially because there were leaks earlier that the company is developing several interesting games at once.
