Does anyone else see "Cyberpunk and Steampunk" in these pictures? As personally that's the first thing that struck me when I looked at them. Though to be honest I'm inclined to agree with Kolosus:

A concept artist had a weird sci-fi dream. Transferred it onto paper to share the mindfuck with his co-workers/journalists/community.
If you're gonna share something, why not make it something that will haunt people for the rest of the day?
Stuff for dreams!

Ohh well, off to bed and dream of scaringly proportioned women, gene-splicing and spaceships!

Alright, theory:
From the art shown, we can assume that it takes place in space, or space ships have a major role some other way. The characters look like humans have been breeding with aliens.

That's all I got.

Well, the design of the spaceships in the first spaceship picture was sort of Combine-ish...

I'm skeptical, but I have to say this: a Valve game about spacefaring pregnant women (pic 9) would be a must-buy for me. :D

The last character on the last image looks a lot like those fellows at the end of half life 2....

Wow. They sure nailed throwing characters into the deep end of the Uncanny Valley. They're interesting designs but... quite a few fall way deep into the Uncanny Valley, why I don't mind creative effort at all, people will have trouble empathising with such characters. But hey, they've made enough money of off TF2 hats that they can afford an oddball project that no one will buy!

I hope it's a new IP. I'd love a new IP from Valve. Continuing on with making their current series would be a waste of their talents.
Not to sound like an idiot, but... What on earth is an IP?

IP = Intellectual Property. It usually refers to individual franchises.

Edit: Ninja'd!

It's not Ep3. The last one is the only one that looks even a little like half life because of those peg-leg. Plus their gear looks like NightOwl's arctic gear from Watchmen.

Intellectual Property.

Seems like either someone at Valve is bored, or theyre making some sci-fi thing with some kind of alternate reality (if that is indeed Hitler) with evolved humans (the only non LSD based explantion I can think of that explains the big headed chick) and stuff.
Remember, Valve has teams of people working on different games, so they can afford to hire some new blood and develop other games. Episode 3 will be ready when its ready.
Plus, I'm sure I'll enjoy watching my grandkids play it on release day :p

I can tell you this is real, it is from Valve's HQ, I remember seeing it when someone who went to Valve recently for an interview was shown around the office and one of his pictures was of some of this concept art, I can't believe I forgot about it!

He also confirmed that he saw what was made so far of Meet the Medic, it was the best Meet video so far, it is 88-90% complete (I'm guessing rendering or sound?) and that it's "coming soon", which can only be assumed to be in Valve Time or specifically 2 or 3 months

I think he posted all this on the TF2 forums March 23rd

I know I've seen these pictures before and I'm pretty sure I saw them here on the forums weeks ago.
