This upcoming modification for Portal 2 is already demonstrating potential, and I am eagerly anticipating the creative plans of the involved team. Set 15 years after Valve’s original game, the mod seeks to build upon the established world, and even a brief glimpse of the voice acting has sparked my excitement.
Portal 2 remains among the finest puzzle games ever crafted. Over the years, it has witnessed numerous outstanding story mods, and I’ve just stumbled upon what could very well be the next major one. Hence, it’s advisable to keep a close watch on it.
Known as “Portal: System Failure,” the project is in its early stages, but you can preview some of the latest footage featuring improvised voice lines for the Portal core Flynn in the provided video.
“Portal: System Failure is a narrative-focused mod for Portal 2 developed on the Source Engine. Set approximately 15 years after the events of Portal 2, its objective is to expand on the world-building of the Aperture Science Enrichment Center,” states Spekktrum Studio, the developer, on the mod page.\
Players assume the role of an unidentified test subject who suddenly awakens in one of the many testing tracks within the facility. As they navigate the course, a rogue AI infiltrates the facility, seizing control of the track. The task at hand is to halt this new threat alongside a newfound personality core companion before they wreak havoc on the facility.
Spekktrum mentions drawing inspiration from other mods like Portal Stories: Mel, while emphasizing cinematic storytelling, introducing an entirely new cast of characters and original music.
Amid the recent co-op addition to the remarkable Portal Reloaded, there’s much to anticipate in terms of fan-made content for Valve’s classic games. Although Portal: System Failure is in its early stages, the atmosphere and character reminiscent of Valve’s games are already evident.
While Spekktrum is currently seeking puzzle designers, level designers, modelers, and texture artists for the project, showcasing promising endeavors like this is something I enjoy. I’m confident that we’ll witness something truly special in a few years.
