Doug Lombardi, direktor marketinga u Valveu, je prije par dana poslao mail u kojem se piše kako se odgađa predstavljanje Portala 2, i kako se fanovima priprema jedno veliko iznenađenje u vezi Half Life serijala. U službenom priopćenju od Valvea, u mailu stoji:
"Aperture Science is pleased to inform you that we have partnered with Valve to announce the gala CANCELLATION of the June 14 Portal 2 event at the Regal Theater. The event will be replaced by a surprise. And even though the cancellation of the event certainly counts as a surprise, we are pleased to further announce that the cancellation of the event is not THE surprise. However, per International treaties regarding the definition of the word "surprise", of which both Aperture Science and Valve are signatories, the time, date and content of the actual surprise will only become available as you experience the surprise.
If you'd like to ask fruitless questions about the E3 Portal 2 surprise or, more fruitfully, schedule an appointment to attend a Portal 2 screening at the Valve booth during E3, please contact Valve's Special Envoy to Surprises, Doug Lombardi.
Thank you for <<RECORD SCRATCH!!!>>"
Što misliste što će biti? HL2: EP3 i nastavak priče iz EP2? Ili HL3 sa nekim od drugih likova (Shepard)? U svakom slučaju svi čekamo June 14. kada će valve objaviti neke detalje u vezi toga.
