A new Portal game is out this year but it costs at least 3,000Michael BeckwithPublished March 18, 2025 10:50amUpdated March 18, 2025 10:50am Its always a treat to hear Ellen McClain as GLaDOS (Multimorphic/YouTube)The newest Valve game is set to launch this summer and yet again it involves some expensive, bespoke hardware.Despite being one of the most celebrated game developers in the world Valves release schedules are never exactly busy. The launched Counter-Strike 2 in 2023 and hero shooter Deadlock is currently in playtesting but it is a very long time since theyve made a normal single-player game.What Valve fans are really after, are traditional sequels to Half-Life and Portal for PC and consoles. Rumours about a new Half-Life 3 have picked up in recent months) but theres never been so much as a rumour about Portal 3.Ever since 2011s Portal 2, fans have had to make do with crossovers and spin-off material, like 2018s Bridge Constructor Portal, and now theres a new one. a licensed pinball table thats due out this summer.The new release is by pinball table manufacturer Multimorphic and is officially licensed by Valve, right down to having Ellen McLain provide new voice work as the iconic AI antagonist GLaDOS.Diehard Portal fans who know the two games inside and out will appreciate the amount of detail on display, with a companion cube that can be pushed through a portal to appear elsewhere.Theres an LCD screen thats used to display seven different test chambers, as well as a main hub area. By completing objectives provided by a new character a personality core called Reggie you can also unlock a boss fight against GLaDOS.While the table is perfect for that specific Venn diagram of Portal fans and pinball aficionados, it is by no means cheap. Even at its lowest price, itll set you back $3,900 (about 3,000) and thats for a game kit you can attach to a compatible pinball machine you already own.If you need the machine with the Portal game built in, thats a whopping $11,620 (roughly 8,940). Plus, youd likely have to pay additional import fees since we cant find any mention on the Multimorphic website of the company having a UK division.Will Valve ever make a Portal 3?While its nice to know Valve hasnt forgotten Portal, its frustrating knowing itll probably never make a traditional sequel since most of the people involved with the original games have long since left the company.More TrendingSeries writer Erik Wolpaw has insinuated Valve is always too busy to commit to a Portal 3, especially since it needs manpower to keep its long-running games like Counter-Strike and Dota 2 running.Aside from Deadlock, Valve hasnt formally confirmed any other games it has in development. There are plenty of rumours though, including both Half-Life 3 and a sequel to VR game Half-Life: Alyx.Valve has already confirmed a successor to the Steam Deck but its also rumoured therell be a new wireless VR headset at some point as well.
