Well, it’s very big. Someone under the name Leakerwanderer posted a huge amount of old Valve assets on the Internet. It’s about assets since 2016 related to games Portal, Counter-Strike: Source, Team Fortress 2, Day of Defeat: Source, Half life 2 (including episodes 1 and 2) and Half-Life 2 multiplayer.
The community is still digging into the files, and it is not yet known exactly what is in the repository. But just for an idea assets for Team Fortress 2 are 61 GB. and even contain content that was cut or modified later.
Those interested can check out 20 previously unreleased maps, alternate skins for many weapons, playable female character models, unused animations, unused hero dances, and several tutorial modes.
Also, the bare foundations of the Raid mode in question, which was canceled and then parts of it used for the Mann vs. mode. Machine, unused model small three-legged robot, witches with a book i wonderful amount of green and yellow textures. They mean that Valve is considering introducing a classic color scheme for both Team Fortress teams.

If you were hoping for early version files Half-Life: Episode Threeso, unfortunately, nothing of the sort escaped.
Likerwanderer he claimsthat everything is in it since 2016. The files are taken from the Valve program, where different versions of the files were stored during the development of games. The company gave access to the program not only to its developers, but also to modders and other companies. Although in this case it is customary to withdraw old and unused items from the warehouse as unnecessary. But in this case it didn’t happen. In 2016, some of the data was leaked, and Valve restricted access to the program. Now everything that was announced at that time on the servers is posted on the Internet.
Leakerwanderer wanted to publish everything earlier, but he always had to threatened, although he did not specify who threatened him and why. But he claims that he is no longer interested in it and adds that he no longer has legal ties to the files.
It is difficult to say what exactly was uploaded to the Internet. The community will take time to try it out. Modders will probably use this stuff to create their own projects.. Valve usually tolerates this kind of thing. Among other things, it did not block the updated beta version of the Half-Life 2 action. It is based on data stolen in 2003 from the studio’s servers.
If you are going to look for assets online more, be careful. Some pranksters take advantage of the leak and post old/forgotten fan mods, passing them off as things that should be in the leaked repository.
