Portal and Portal 2 author Eric Wolpaw said he wants Valve to start developing the Portal 3, with the final version due for release in 2011. New portal game. Writer Eric Wolpaw expressed hope that Valve would give the third game in the Portal series the green light before it became obsolete. Portal co-creator Eric Wolpaw, is a former Valve employee, he has expressed interest in creating a third game for Portal. According to VGC, Wolpaw discussed his work on various Valve games, including Portal 1 and 2, on a podcast in an interview with kiwi talk.

Although, given how much Valve has booked over the years, fans probably won’t know Portal 3 exists until Valve is ready to share it. More than eleven years have passed since the launch of Portal 2, and it seems that fans are not the ones to demand that Valve start a sequel to one of their most beloved video games of all time.

The recent podcast interview, in a way, showed that as far as Portal is concerned, the new main episode doesn’t look like this will happen soon. While the Wolpaws’ enthusiasm for Portal is clear, it also applies to the hurdles Valve would have to overcome to greenlight Portal 3’s re-creation. Eric Wolpaw’s passion for the series is obvious, but he’s also realistic about the hurdles he’ll have to overcome in order for Valves to make a third Portal game.
