It's a dead cert that Portal 2 is happening, but we don't know anything else about it yet. But the rumors are flying about a casting call that hints at what we might be able to expect from the sequel.
The call, as reported by Kotaku, appeared on industry-only site Breakdown Express, and is to cast the antagonist -- although he starts off as a sidekick -- of Valve's sequel (or prequel) to its much loved first-person action puzzler.
The voice actor would take on the role of Cave Johnson, an "eccentric dead billionaire," and founder/CEO of an applied science company, which we all know to be Aperture, of the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device -- that's the thing that makes all those cool portal holes in the game.
What is rumored to be dialogue from the script was also passed on to Kotaku, revealing that the character is indeed dead and somehow suspended in what is described as an "inky purgatorium."
All of this sounds deliciously dark, comical, and a little bit out there, which is what I think we all want from a proper sequel to a game so many of us loved to bits.
