Square signs new game from portal co-creator

MCV Staff 26th August 2011 Publishing

Kim Swift, the DigiPen student who co-created Portal and subsequently quit Valve, has revealed her new project, a familiar-looking FPS puzzle game called Quantum Conundrum.

The new title, built with the team at Airtight Games, features what could be many ideas that Swift had for Portal 2 before she left Valve.

Quantum Conundrum is a first-person puzzle game that, like the Portal series, progresses as players place cubes on switches. But the obstacles and inherent logic appears more elaborate than what featured in the first and second Portal games.

Develop has the full story.
