Duke Nukem Forever Release Date Revealed

Posted by Soulskill on from the restocking-bubblegum dept.

stupid_is writes with news that Duke Nukem Forever has now gotten a firm US release date: May 3rd. It will release worldwide three days later. The game was resurrected last fall by Gearbox Software and 2K Games after 3D Realms' 12-year attempt at development came to an end in 2009 when the company closed its doors.

    They should let the release date slide a few times, for old times sake.

    Finishing this off? Please. We have only just seen the beginning.

    I predict that the moment before the game is to be "released," a wormhole will open, occupying half the sky over Los Angeles. From it, millions of Octabrains will come forth, wreaking havoc and destruction while Battlelords appear and L.A.P.D. pigs are turned into L.A.R.D. cops. No, we have only just seen the early prophecy. In this Hollywood Holocaust, only those yielding laser tripmines, pipebombs, and microwave guns will survive.

    I, for one, welcome our new DN3D Overlords. (Someone desperately needed to upgrade the sprites to DNF models!)

    So is my Pre-Order from Electronics Boutique still good?

    I refuse to miss what may be my last chance to make the same horrible joke I made 10 years ago.

    Duke Nukem Forever? More like Duke Nukem Fornever!

    There, I feel better now.

    Well it looks like Duke Nukem Forever WILL release before Half Life 2 Episode 3.
