Report: Portal 2 Launches February 9, 2011

Grab your favorite dessert bib because, according to Game Informer, Portal 2 has a release date.

Today the magazine--which first revealed the title in a cover story--reported that Portal 2 would hit stores on February 9, 2011. The confirmation, the report says, comes from Valve at Gamescom 2010. We've also reached out the Valve to confirm that the date is accurate.

Additionally, the report notes that the British robot companion Wheatley--featured in trailers for the game--will be voiced by The Office co-creator and podcast funnyman, Stephen Merchant. We can only assume that the character model of the game's protagonist will be changed, to ensure her head is as round as possible.

Portal 2 will be released in PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Mac flavours.

You're referencing the wrong person in the article with the "round head" comment. That would be Carl Pilkington, not Stephen Merchant. Stephen Merchant is the freakishly tall one.

I intend to pre-order this as soon as possible. There is no reason to, really, but it will make me feel good inside.

Every second of the first Portal was absolute bliss, and I can't wait for more.

Noooo! Valve what are you doing? Don't announce a release date so soon! You actually had a streak going for a little bit, releasing Left 4 Dead 2 almost right on time, then releasing Alien Swarm on time!
