@weirdojace – Both JoCo and Valve have confirmed that he is working with them on Portal 2, but the song (or more?) will likely be kept under wraps as long as possible.
Excerpt from a relevant interview with Gabe Newell:
1UP: Can you tell me one piece of trivia about Portal 2? It could be about the development; it could be about somebody’s dog on the team…”
GN: “Jonathan Coulton is awesome — he’s just brilliant; he’s a joy to work with.”
1UP: Is there another song?
GN: “He’s brilliant.” [Laughs.]
Another interview, this time with JoCo:
In a phone interview last Thursday, I brought up “Still Alive” and asked Coulton whether he’d be interested in doing a follow-up. “I will be doing music for Portal 2 as well, yeah. You know, I think Valve and I were both really happy with how ‘Still Alive’ turned out, and it was an overwhelmingly popular response to something we thought was maybe gonna be a bit weird and unusual,” he explained.
