Portal 2 Release Date Confirmed
Having revealed at E3 that the game had been pushed back from a release later this year, Valve has now given us a definitive date, announcing that Portal 2 will be released on February 9th 2011.
Valve also told us today that Office co-writer and actor Stephen Merchant will be voicing Wheatley, the British 'buddy sphere' featured in the game's trailers.
Word of the release date follows news that Valve finally has some Ps3 developers. The studio's Erik Johnson revealed at GamesCom earlier that the studio now has "a handful of people who have a very strong PS3 background. They worked on a bunch of the early PS3 games and they're big fans of the platform. So they're really excited and jumped immediately at the chance to get Source up and running in Portal 2 on PS3."
This follows Valve boss Gabe Newell announcing Portal 2 for the PS3 at E3 this year, saying it would be "the best version on any console." Be happy, PS3 owners.
