Zen Studios Announce "Portal Pinball"

[Omnomnick]

Following a brief hint last week, Valve and Zen Studios have today revealed "Portal Pinball", a Portal-themed pinball game (duh). The game, created by Zen Studios, features Portal 2 assets, its distinct visual style, and a series of themed gameplay mechanics as you "guide Chell and Wheatley through test chambers" by playing pinball on various specially designed tables.

The game will ship on Zen Studio's pinball platforms sometime during the week of May 25th 2015, with no price point currently available. While it certainly isn't quite "Portal 3" or the direct sequel/prequel many would have hoped for, I'm personally pretty happy to see the Portal brand expanded in this manner without it having any canonical effect on Valve's established universe.

Take a look at some screenshots from Portal Pinball below and let us know what you think!

What a nice filler. Needs more third-person Chell though.

Surprisingly good fit for aesthetics and the portal gameplay.
