Valve reportedly preparing secondgeneration Source Engine, kinda explains the Episode Three delay

ValveTime has dug through the Source Filmmaker code to expose references to “Source 2,” reportedly a next-generation revamp of Valve’s renowned game engine. Provided that the 3 significant consoles are all due a refresh, it’s unsurprising to see preparations being made.
