Another Portal Game Is Kind Of Coming With Bridge Constructor Portal

Portal

Get ready to use those Portal guns again as it looks like that franchise has crossed with another to bring us Bridge Constructor Portal

It has been a while since we had anything truly new for the Portal franchise in terms of a full game. It is crazy to think that it has been six years since the last full entry into the IP and at most, we have had little links back and forth with characters, items, and Easter Eggs to entice us all a bit more. If you are like me, you are sitting there hoping for a full new title into the franchise, but for now we are going to have to sit and take games like what Headup Games has for us here. Now we have Bridge Constructor Portal to look at and get another taste of the IP through their other game's mechanics but with all the fun GlaDOS and Aperture bring to the world. All on December 20th and for the Mac, Windows, Android, and iOS platforms. PS4, Switch, and Xbox One to come in 2018.

While this is not a full new game with the portal gun, Bridge Constructor Portal does give us that feeling with the core gameplay of Bridge Constructor. More or less, we are going to be building bridges and structures to help flowing vehicles to get from point A to point B but with some of the mechanics we had in Valve's title. Not only the Blue and Orange portals, but also so of the rebound and bounce mechanics. I am also going to guess that there will be some of the other implements from the larger title, but this is all we can glean from everything we have here. Have a look at the announcement trailer and screenshots for the game and then get ready to hop back into the world of Portal through this title. Now just give us a third one.
