Duke Nukem Forever Lives?
Reports place Gearbox behind Duke's resurrection.
UK, August 11, 2010

You've waited 13 years already, so what's another few months? Reports are suggesting that the comically delayed and subsequently cancelled Duke Nukem Forever has been resurrected, with Borderlands developer Gearbox tasked with taking the project to the finishing line.

Having begun in 1997, development on Duke Nukem Forever had seemingly halted after the game's development staff at 3D Realms were let go in May last year. Due to 3D Realms failure to complete the game it was sued for breach of contract by publisher Take-Two, a matter that was resolved earlier this year.

But that's not where Duke Nukem Forever's story ends, it seems. A report on Kotaku suggests that Duke is alive and that Gearbox would be taking the game to completion. Sources at both Take-Two and Gearbox are remaining tight-lipped, although it wouldn't be the first time that the Borderlands developer was associated with the cigar-chomping action hero; Gearbox was outed as the company behind Duke Begins, a project that was scrapped before it ever saw the light of day.

The reports claim that more could be revealed at September's PAX, and that a playable demo could even emerge as soon as this year.

The story of Duke Nukem Forever is a strange and unique one – could this be the final twist in the tale? We'll bring you more as we hear it.

Duke is a legend, loved them games wen i were younger,
cant wait for this new 1 if it does come out

I think Duke is my favourite character from a game.

It was the first FPS I played, it had monster's, big guns, swearing and pole dancing women that when you got close you could pay them to dance for you. What more could you want as a kid

Its time to kick ass and chew bubble gum .... And I’m all out of gum!!!

All the memories are flowing back from the older games, especially the pole dancing women
just hope this new 1 can live upto the standard of the older 1s!

i loved the ps1 games i had, as well as the one i had one my dads old laptop when i was in year 2

thats 11 years ago btw
