Portal was released in 2007 by Valve Corporation. It originated from a student project called Narbacular Drop, developed by students at DigiPen Institute of Technology. Valve hired the team and adapted their concept into Portal. The game was created to introduce innovative gameplay mechanics and to complement Valve's existing portfolio with a unique puzzle experience.
