2K Games and Gearbox Software has confirmed that Duke Nukem Forever will officially make its long-awaited debut for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in calendar 2011.

Duke Nukem will bring his signature brand of babe-lovin’, cigar-smoking, beer-chugging and ass-kicking action as he once again saves the Earth and our babes from hordes of invading aliens.

"All great things take time... a lot of time," laughs Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. "After a hiatus from the video game world, Duke Nukem is back and better than ever. The return of the King from the glory days of shooters will satisfy our patient, die-hard fans, as well as a new generation of bubble gum-chewing, flat top and shades-wearing bad-asses. Make no mistake about it - Duke Nukem Forever is a testament to the era of when shooters were bodacious and fun."

Pig cops, alien shrink rays and enormous alien bosses won’t stop our hero from accomplishing his one and only goal: to save the world, save the babes and to be a bad-ass while doing it. Over-the-top weapons, massive aliens and unprecedented levels of interactivity are promised. Shoot hoops, lift weights, read adult magazines, draw crude messages on whiteboards or ogle one of the many beautiful women that populate Duke’s life; that is if you can pull yourself away long enough from kicking ass and taking names.

“Hail to the king, baby! It's unbelievable, it kicks ass and it's totally going to happen!” said Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software, "Gearbox has enabled die-hard key Duke Nukem franchise builders and skilled veteran game makers to stand together and deliver. All gamers deserve a happy ending and after all of us gamers feeling the full range of emotions about Duke Nukem Forever, I am thrilled to be in a position with the trust, power and means to make it happen. Am I crazy? Balls of steel, baby, balls of steel!”


You've been waiting 12 years, one more year won't hurt.

O'RLY - thats all i have to say on the matter .

“WTF!!!! ……. phew … that was close, nearly got hit by a flying pig …. ”
April fools day was months ago ;)
If it happens - I'll be pleasantly surprised.
It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of gum
I love that :)
I guess that for me, DN was the first multiplayer game I ever saw on PC (at least, the first for 1 gamer per machine) and as such holds a special place in my heart. Closely followed, IIRC, by X-Wing V Tie-Fighter and then Warcraft 2.
Anywho… DNF will suck, but they should still release it so that they can then start on another (rather than continually rebuilding DNF).
It's definately going to happen. There are numerous off screen videos of people testing the game. I just hope it lives up to the high expectations. From the way one of the developes spoke it will have everything you expect in a duke game and a lot lot more.

I can't wait for it! (oh I already have waited like 12 years :eek: )
