Valve confirmed this morning that Portal 2 is coming and is set for release this holiday. Valve did not say what platforms it would be released on, however.

Valve has been teasing the sequel for the past week, updating the first Portal on its Steam client with new Morse code sound files, and even a new ending sequence.

We'll keep you updated if we hear anything new.

LATEST UPDATES AND HAPPENINGS - In reverse chronological order (most recent above)

DAY 3: FOLLOWING THE PROGRESS BAR - (see wiki page)

* The progress bar is advancing linearly. It should be complete during the night of March 5th.

* escape_02 updated, new ending where a robot drags you away talking about the Party Escort. Here's the robot voice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcQFZU2_zIg. Here's the new ending: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJruBtuUACo
* No images in the two new dinosaur fizzles
* Apparently, there is a new radio somewhere (near the fire pit?)
* The BBS progress bar is randomly updating
* Here are all three fizzles combined: http://servage.sforum.nl/gits/dinosaur_fizzlecombi.wav
* Loads of new ASCII : here's a raw dump - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgG3eRYQfpE
* Voices isolated from the fizzles : "Chell, get out of here, I'll follow you" - http://servage.sforum.nl/gits/voice.wav or http://servage.sforum.nl/gits/voice2.wav (one might be more understandable depending on your hearing). Get out of here is in the first one, Chell is the last part of the second, I'll follow you is the last part of the third.
* Crazy theory: Chell is the valuable asset.

GABE NEWELL ANSWERS AN E-MAIL IN BINARY - http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/7637/gabewhat.jpg

This binary code translates to: You will know ; It will all be known in a near future ; Protocol 602.

UNCONFIRMED STUFF - might be unrelevant, might be fake, we gotta sort these out

Okay so as we know or should know today valve released a sneaky update that added radio transmissions to the original Portal radios. The radios only appear after you've completed the campaign and have the heartbreaker achievement.

You can see it here :

http://filesmelt.com/dl/ohohohwhatsthisdoinghere.png

Well there are 26 total radio transmissions codenamed "Dinosaur"

FP has been at work decoding these sounds as much as they could. We've learned that you must decode them using SSTV, a program used to turn sounds into images.

So far we have these :

someone named ThisIsPain has translated the morse codes from Dinosaur 1, 5, 12, and 17.

"Morse codes:

Dinosaur1: INTERIOR TRANSMISSION ACTIVE EXTERNAL DATA LINE ACTIVE MESSAGE DIGEST ACTIVE

Dinosaur5: 9E107D9D372BB6826BD81D3542A419D6

Dinosaur12: SYSTEM DATA DUMP ACTIVE USER BACKUP ACTIVE PASSWORD BACKUP ACTIVE

Dinosaur17: BEEP BEEEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEP BEEEEP BEEEEP BEEP BEEEEP BEEP BEEP
