EA has just announced an agreement with Valve to distribute Portal 2 in retail channels.
Portal 2 was recently named the most anticipated game of 2011 at the Spike TV Video Game Awards, and will bereleasing worldwide in April 2011. Portal 2 will challenge players with a host of fresh puzzles, devious new test chambers in never-before-seen areas of Aperture Science Labs and be reunited with GLaDOS, the occasionally murderous computer companion from the original Portal. An all-new co-operative mode will feature its own unique campaign and characters, and will force players to both act and think together.
“Portal 2 is Valve’s most innovative title in the company’s history and will be launched with a first-class launch campaign this April,” said Doug Lombardi, vice president of marketing at Valve. “We’re excited to be working with Electronic Arts to deliver this title as we expand our platform strategy to include the Mac and PlayStation 3 platforms.”
Portal 2 will be available in Australia and New Zealand for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC and Mac on April 21.
