Given what a banger HL: Alyx was - definitely the best VR title that I played, at least - that would be incredibly hype. Heck, I’d just take HL: Alyx 2.
Alyx is not my favorite VR game, but I do think it is the best VR game made. It is so immersive that there were many times playing it where I genuinely forgot I was playing a game. My first playthrough I played the entire last half, from exiting the Northern Star all the way through the end, in one hours long session and by the time I took off my headset I felt like I didn’t quite know who I was, where I was, or what the F just happened. I felt a little disoriented and off kilter for like 2 days afterwards. 10/10 experience, highly recommend.
Years back, I predicted the next HL game would be VR because Valve only released new HL when they do some leap in tech or otherwise. Story telling, physics, episodic game, then Alyx was the VR title. I just wish Alyx wasn’t a prequel, didn’t recon the previous setup, and wasn’t VR only.
The next HL game being for the Frame makes sense, but don’t count on it being HL3.
My copium is that they’re not releasing the Steam Frame because they’re finishing HL3 which will be a launch title, playable in VR or flat.

Or they’re just fighting to get Alyx to run directly on the headset because of course everyone will try to do that despite any warnings.
