Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Left 4 Dead, Counter-Strike and Half-Life) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced Portal 2 for shipment this coming holiday season.

Portal 2 is the sequel to 2007's Portal, which won 70 industry achievement awards.

Not really a surprise, but much welcomed news!

Surpwise!

This is awesome. The images look very interesting... outdoor portal use? I wonder if this ties into HL more.

I wish Valve would stop dicking around and actually give us some information on Ep3s status...

I wonder too, but hope not...

Are the images a contrast between the old functional facility or the destroyed and overgrown or do we actually get to see both.

Anyway: I've said it before and I'll say it again, combined package with Episode 3 (and perhaps for 360 users an updated TF2).

EDIT: Not outdoors, overgrown. All the pictures are inside the facility.
Also the underlined letters are: dratmanih0nee. Wonder what word you're supposed to get out of it.

Agreed, First Left 4 Dead 2, which was not necessary. Now Portal 2. I will probably play Portal 2 but I wish they would atleast release even a little amount of information on EP3.

I always sucked at word jumbles...I have no idea what to do with this...

I for one am very excited. I loved Portal and love its inclusion into the Half-Life lore. Having a full lengthed released has my giddy. We probably wont see Episode 3 until 2011 though.

As for the underlined letters, they provide a new login for the BBS, which gives code that can be converted to;

I really could care less if Portal 2 is coming i think we all knew that, i'll probably be buying it though. I just want Episode 3 info.

[Monkeh]

Yeah, didn't Gabe already officially announced Portal 2? This is the first coverage though and I'd like to know how Portal 2 is going to play out. Also:
