Duke Nukem Forever Back In Development

Posted by Soulskill on from the yeah-this-again dept.

An anonymous reader writes "'Always bet on Duke.' It seems he was right about himself, at least. The longest, most storied in-development game in history seems like it's finally going to be released by Gearbox Software sometime within the next year. 'According to Pitchford, Gearbox began finishing Duke Nukem Forever in late 2009. "Clearly the game hadn't been finished at 3D Realms but a lot of content had been created," he says. "The approach and investment and process at 3D Realms didn't quite make it, and it cracked at the end. With Gearbox Software we brought all those pieces together. It's the game it was meant to be." The game is currently expected to ship in 2010 although given its history Pitchford is understandably reluctant to be more specific.'"

    Haven't seen any Duke Nukem jokes on /. in a while.

    We're still working on them. Expect some in 2011.

    Can't say I blame them. Every time you port something to the Insovietrussia engine, it ports it right back to you.

    You know, if they could make the actual release date on April 1st it would be rather funny. NOBODY would believe the press releases :-)

    At this point, they could pick literally any other day of the year and nobody would believe the press release.
