Hidden within Counter-Strike: Global Offensive’s new Danger Zone battle royale map is what could be the start of ARG teasing a forthcoming Portal sequel.
Valve is back up to its old shenanigans, it seems, giving fans another opportunity to ask: is this an Easter Egg or is Valve hinting at a sequel? What appears to be the start of an ARG was found on the map of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive‘s new battle royale mode Danger Zone. This puzzle, both directly and indirectly, is related to Portal. Given Valve’s history for ARGs and its fanbase’s propensity for speculation, it’s all but inevitable that rumors are already swirling about a potential Portal sequel.
This past week saw the release of the long-rumored Danger Zone battle royale mode for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The map isn’t particularly large, given it’s a 16-18 player battle royale, so it’s no surprise that fans discovered this Easter Egg so quickly. On one side of the map is a hotel with four rooms along the top floor. The third room is boarded up and inaccessible from outside with the “3” room number lying on the ground.
