A fan made mod.
Not to take anything away from them but other than not being on an official YouTube channel I did think this was a brand new game given it says 'official'. A bit deceiving.

It also uses the name "Portal" in a way that feels official, too. If it said "Revolution: A Portal mod" it'd be fine.
How does it “feel official”? It’s just what a lot of mods do:
These are just a few I can think of, you can find more on Steam and ModDB.
In addition to what others have said (all those examples are equally misleading IMHO), given that its the 25th Anniversary of Half-Life, a lot of us are primed to hope for news of a new game from Valve.
Without any prior knowledge if a trailer for Portal: Prelude were released today it would be equally as confusing. The flash version wouldn't be since it would be strange for Valve to make a flash version of anything officially, so that'd set off flags, the Half-Life ones likely would be confusing as well, purely from a "released a trailer with a very clean logo and the word official in the title" standpoint, not really a general product naming standpoint, but that series is more dormant, so maybe it's less likely to be confusing.
Dont forget Hunt Down the Freeman... Remember that dumpster fire? Pee-yew.
I was surprised to see another Portal game being announced, but finding out it's a fan-made mod actually has me more interested.
Fan-mods are where you can see some neat shit because they're not trying to maximize profits, they're just trying to make something cool.
This is not made by (or in association with) valve.
It's effectively a mod built on portal2
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in
I'm always amazed of what passionate people can achieve. It happens that i also love this game. Nice !
Actually just started another playthrough of Portal still alive! I just hope the cake is real this time.
mmmmmmmmm cake
I really miss the times when mods actually were encouraged by the gamedevs. Yes there are games that still encourage modding but it's still not as widespread as it was so a couple of years after Half-life was released.
