The worst has happened, people: February 9th will no longer be the day you get your hands on a copy of Portal 2.

Developer Valve has pushed back the highly anticipated sequel to April 22, but offers a few words of condolence.

“This two month slip not only marks the shortest delay in Valve's proud tradition of delays, it represents the approaching convergence of Valve Time and Real Time. Though this convergence spells doom for humanity, it will not affect the new Portal 2 release date.”

Comforting, I'm sure you'll agree. While you wait though, why not check out some footage?

Portal 2 is in development for PS3, 360 and PS3.
