Posted on August 24, 2010, Ben Richardson Portal 2 Wheatley Footage

Portal’s breezy puzzling and inventive, physics-based gameplay formed the core of the game‘s fun, but it was the off-kilter mania of AI advisor/adversary GLaDOS that really stuck with people. The sequel introduces a new monocular companion in the form of Wheatley, who joins forces with protagonist Chell as they embark on another orange- and blue-bordered peregrination through the Aperture Science labs.

The video below, rendered in stunning HD quality, acts as a formal introduction to British comic actor Stephen Merchant, who appears as the voice of Wheatley. Keep your eyes peeled also for a look at some of Portal 2′s upgraded graphical bells and whistles, along with heretofore unrevealed footage of the bowels of Aperture.
