The Duke Is Finally Back, For Real

Posted by kdawson on from the better-be-good dept.

After the first announcement on 1997-04-27 and over eleven years of fresh start after fresh start, Duke Nukem Forever finally comes to your system. At least if your system is an Xbox 360. Jon Siegler, the webmaster of 3D Realms, confirms this on their site: "As has been reported around the net today, we can confirm that the game has indeed passed final certification with Microsoft on Friday the 15th of August (on our first try, no less). That means the game is done — it is now in the hands of Microsoft." Update: 08/19 10:47 GMT by T : Several readers have written with a correction: this announcement is actually about Duke Nukem 3D, rather than Duke Nukem Forever.

    Today I shall remember forever as the day I was trolled by Hurricane78, who possibly just fooled a /. editor. Would have been more epic if the links were spoofs, too. However, I still humbly applaud and bow before your master trollery.

    Since Sister Tereasa swore I was going to Hell when I was growing up I figured I better learn how to ice skate.

    He is responsible for a large proportion of the SNR these days.
