So hey, what’s Ellen McLain up to these days? We don’t hang out much, you know, but according to her hubby’s Twitter stream<\/a>, the voice of GLaDOS is headed back to the studio to get busy with “a new game and more Portal work”.<\/p>\n

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH.<\/p>\n

Let’s speculate! I’ll go first.<\/p>\n

Maybe she’s working on new Portal DLC (a not at all unlikely contingency), but – if you remember how Half-Life 2: Episode Two ended – maybe Aperture Science Laboratories’ star rogue AI is going to make an appearance in Episode Three. Which also qualifies as a “new game”, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n

Ellen also provided the voice of both Episode One and Episode Two’s Combine Overwatch, as well as Team Fortress 2’s announcer, so there’s that too. Mind you, Team Fortress 2 has nothing to do with Half-Life, so let’s pretend that one isn’t there – besides, there’s no reason to imagine Valve might be working on another sequel for that brand just yet.<\/p>\n

Of course, Valve are notoriously secretive about this stuff, so speculation will likely remain nothing more than speculation until Valve decides otherwise. Pretty brutal, Gabe.<\/p>\n

Any guesses as to what McLain is working on?<\/a> <\/strong><\/span><< Let us know in the forums<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
