Once again I find myself the bearer of bad news, as the fantastic looking Portal 2 has been pushed back from its original February release date, to April 20th in North America and Australia , and April 22nd in Europe. Oddly enough the news brought a wry smile to my face, which is all down to Valve’s press release:
“Valve today announced that Portal 2 — the sequel to the ground-breaking title that won over 30 game of the year awards, despite missing its original ship date — will now be available the week of April 18th, 2011.
This two month slip not only marks the shortest delay in Valve’s proud tradition of delays, it represents the approaching convergence of Valve Time and Real Time. Though this convergence spells doom for humanity, it will not affect the new Portal 2 release date.”
We’re all doomed!Â

Excellent press release. No matter how devastated we may feel about the 2 month delay, it’s done in such a way that can’t hate them for it.
Mind you, wasn’t it *already* delayed, primarily because of the PS3 version?

Good. If it was to be released any earlier, I will probably miss it due to the other awesome games coming out including Brink.
