As reported by VGC, writer Erik Wolpaw appeared on the Kiwi Talkz podcast to discuss his time at Valve, including his experience co-writing Portal and Portal 2. When asked about Portal 3, he said that \"we've gotta start Portal 3.\" It's not as easy as simply wanting to make a sequel to one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time, though. Even with his influence at Valve, Wolpaw explained it would be difficult to pull a large group of people away from their existing work at the company to make a game, even if it was a worthwhile endeavor. Even so, Wolpaw feels a sense of urgency in pursuing a potential Portal 3. \"I am not getting any younger. We are reaching the point where it's crazy to think [that we're] literally going to be too old to work on Portal 3, so we should just do it,\" Wolpaw said. Fans have been asking Valve for Portal 3 ever since Portal 2's release in 2011. Like the long-rumored and joked about Half-Life 3, Portal 3's existence has been theorized and debated for years. In early March, players were able to return to the Portal universe with Aperture Desk Job, a short tech demo for Valve's Steam Deck handheld. Wolpaw's full interview is available on YouTube.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/18111120\/ss_8a772608d29ffd56ac013d2ac7c4388b96e87a21.1920x1080.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576129"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1998"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=576129"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576129\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1466869,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576129\/revisions\/1466869"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/576171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=576129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=576129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=576129"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=576129"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=576129"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=576129"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=576129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
