It was speculated therein that Valve will finally be releasing a "Portal 3" game along with unveiling of the HTC Vive VR trailer, and that the trailer shown by HTC for its second-generation VR developer kit hinted towards a possible "Portal 3."

However, this was easily debunked by Valve director of marketing, Doug Lombardi, who responded to the rumors by saying that the demo shown does not indicate that the company is developing a new "Portal 3" game, PC Gamer reported.

As such, fans will just have to wait a bit more until more concrete news surface around regarding the development and release of a "Portal 3" game.
