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.'"

    In another five years someone will buy the naming rights to Duke and release a flash browser game as "Duke Nukem Forever" as a gag. "See, it finally came out."

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

  3. GameStop Preorder ticket by RyuuzakiTetsuya · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I wonder if GameStop will honor my DNF preorder ticket I got when the location was a Funcoland 12 years ago.

  4. What is this game? maybe I am too young? by fantomas · · Score: 3, Interesting

    As far as I can work out, this is a follow on from a game previously released 14 years ago? is this correct? So who will care about its release apart from some very old-skool gamers? I guess it's just a kind of in-joke for old slashdot fans these days?

  5. Hope you held on to your preorder receipts! by Lunix+Nutcase · · Score: 4, Interesting

    So will that guy with the oldest preorder receipt for DNF actually get GameStop to honor it?
