EA, Valve Strike Up Portal 2 Distribution Deal

Electronic Arts and Valve have announced that the upcoming Portal 2 will be distributed through the publisher's EA Partners. The two companies previously worked together on Valve's compilation release the Orange Box, which bundled Team Fortress 2, Half-Life 2, and the original Portal.

Portal 2, which has been delayed twice, is now set for an April 21 launch on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Mac. According to Gamasutra, Valve's VP of marketing Doug Lombardi says players can expect a "first-class launch campaign," whatever that means. One thing's for sure: boxes will have an EA logo somewhere on it. We're betting it'll be on a corner.
