Portal's Co-Creator Kim Swift to Reveal New Game at PAX

We'll finally find out what she's been working on at Airtight Games.

Swift has been silent about her work at Airtight Games since leaving Valve for the developer.

We haven't heard very much from Kim Swift since she left Valve to become creative director at Airtight Games, but on Saturday at PAX, Swift will start talking about what she's been working on.

The co-creator of Portal and the project behind its inspiration, Narbacular Drop, Swift left Valve in December 2009, a few months before Valve would eventually announce that Portal 2 was coming.

Swift also ended up helping out on the Left 4 Dead series.

All we have to go on about Swift's new project at Airtight Games is this snippet from Square Enix:

"PAX attendees will be the first to see Square Enix and Airtight Games globally reveal a top–secret joint project through their exclusive panel. Meet the development team, including Creative Director Kim Swift (Portal, Left 4 Dead 1, Left 4 Dead 2) and the rest of the Airtight Games team, and hear their explanation of how they are bringing an incredibly fascinating and quirky game to life."

If you're at PAX, you can attend the panel on Saturday at 7:00 pm in the Pegasus Room.

Eyebrows were raised over Swift's departure, especially so since she left not long prior to Airtight Games released its first project, the poorly received Dark Void.
