Despite there being no new entries in the series in over a decade, Portal remains one of Valve\u2019s most beloved franchises. Portal 2, in particular, wowed gamers by combining mind-bending puzzles with a compelling narrative. They\u2019ve gone to become two of the most critically acclaimed games of all time, but the third appearance of GLaDOS and co. has never materialized. Both Portal and Portal 2 have been playable on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms for some time, but the franchise had never ventured over to Nintendo consoles. All that is about to change as Portal: Companion Collection has been announced for Nintendo Switch. Revealed during the Nintendo Direct Mini which took place on June 28, Portal: Companion Collection brings both Portal and Portal 2 to the Nintendo Switch in one handy package. Switch owners won\u2019t have to wait either, as the collection dropped later the same day. Players can seamlessly switch between both titles\u2019 single-player campaigns, and Portal 2\u2019s physics-breaking puzzles can once again be tackled alone or with a friend in local or online co-op. Portal: Companion Collection doesn\u2019t appear to be a remake or remaster of the classic titles, but there is new content for returning players to enjoy. Nintendo teased that fans will have to: \u201cThink [their] way through dangerous, never-before-seen areas of the laboratories and a wider variety of portal puzzles.\u201d If you\u2019re concerned about the cost of two games rolled into one, don\u2019t worry. Portal: Companion Collection is listed on the Nintendo eShop for just $19.99. For those who never got the chance to play the iconic puzzlers, this is the perfect chance to experience their witty humor and flawless level design for the first time. But with new areas and challenges to take on, tried and tested fans also have plenty of reasons to take their beloved games on the go. While it\u2019s unlikely that we\u2019ll see Portal 3 any time soon, it\u2019s great to see one of Valve\u2019s best series in the spotlight once again on a new platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Portal: Companion Collection brings Valve\u2019s classic series to the Nintendo Switch ValvePortal: Companion Collection has been announced for Nintendo Switch, packaging Valve\u2019s Portal and Portal 2 together for players to enjoy from June 28.
