Portal 2 players will soon have a whole lot of additional puzzle options starting May 8, when Valve releases a free DLC called “Perpetual Testing Initiative,” allowing gamers to create, share and play new puzzles.
Value has announced the release of a new Portal 2 DLC called “Perpetual Testing Initiative” for the Mac and PC, arriving on May 8. With a Metacritic score of 95 percent and numerous Game of the Year awards under its belt, Portal 2 is about to expand its horizons with a new way to create and share puzzles with other players.
“The ‘Perpetual Testing Initiative’ allows players to easily create, share, and play Portal 2 puzzles,” the company announced on Thursday. “The Initiative comes with a simplified puzzle maker that allows that creation of mind-bending puzzles without ever leaving the game.
“The puzzle maker can directly publish maps to the Steam Workshop where users can browse, vote on, and select to play them,” Valve adds. “Selected puzzles will automatically be downloaded and installed inside Portal 2.”
New Portal 2 puzzles will add a new dimension to the already expansive single and cooperative multiplayer game modes offered by Valve -- now the only thing you’ll have to do is wait a week or so for the calendar to turn over to May 8.
