Valve hints at Portal 2

by Kiven on February 22nd, 2008

We all know it will come soon but it is still news when Valve drops actual verbal evidence that indeed, Portal 2 is coming: “Valve’s superlative first-person puzzler scooped the top prize at this year’s Game Developer’s Choice Awards and, in a post-acceptance interview, Swift spoke briefly about a follow-up, saying, “I believe [Valve Community Manager] Doug Lombardi has announced a sequel”. Lombardi has indeed spoken about a second Portal game, saying last January that “There’ll be more Portal, for sure. But the details of that, to be honest, we’re still working out.”

Legions of Portal fans may well get their appetite for more mind-bending puzzle action satiated, with the game’s lead designer Kim Swift suggesting another slice is currently in the mix.

With a strong and highly vocal fan-base already present just months after the game’s release, a sequel would surely incite the fervered drools of many a gamer - although, given Valve’s usual protracted development periods, don’t expect it for a while yet.
