A REDDITOR has posted what appears to be an in-store release date for Half-Life 2: Episode 3.

The post shows what the user claims is a printed copy of GameStop's release calendar, with Half-Life 2: Episode 3 showing a date of the 30th of June 2013.

Comments on the post point out that the date represents the end of the June financial quarter, a date usually kept for release dates that are uncertain or aren't locked in.

The release date for this game or, alternatively, Half-Life 3 itself, has become a meme in itself after the stonewalling Valve boss Gabe Newell gives whenever asked questions about the game.

While the release calendar may look legitimate, it seems unlikely that this is anything more than GameStop's estimation of a release date. Norswedish:Reddit
