Well it looks like Valve has, yet again, delayed the release of Portal 2; this time setting the release back two months. However, in traditional Valve fashion, the company’s press release is a masterpiece in itself; It can only be best described by not describing it at all, so here it is:

VALVE ANNOUNCES SHORTEST DELAY IN VALVE HISTORY

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.
