Valve Done With Single-Player Centric Games

Posted April 25, 2011 by M.H. Williams

According to comments made in Geoff Keighley’s Final Hours of Portal 2 iTunes app, Valve may be leaving its single player days behind.

"Portal 2 will probably be Valve's last game with an isolated single-player experience. What this all means is something Newell is still trying to figure out,” wrote Keighly, relating a comment made by Valve founder Gabe Newell.

Other than Portal 2, Valve’s only other single-player centric franchise is Half-Life, but fans have been waiting for a follow-up to that title since 2007’s Half-Life 2: Episode Two. The rest of Valve’s franchise slate, including Left4Dead, Counter-Strike, Team Fortress, and the upcoming DOTA, is rife with multi-player extravaganzas.
