The infamous vapourware project Duke Nukem Forever got another step closer to reality this week with the official annoucement of a release date. Duke will be able to 'let god sort 'em out' his alien friends on 3 May 2011 - that's the America release date, ROTW is three days later.
Who remembers playing the Duke Nukem series on 3.5 inch floppy disks back in the day? A classic game became an awesome game with Duke 3D. I can't remember how many times I played that! With Duke Forever stand up to those memories? Who knows but million fan boys are now silently counting down the days until Duke Forever is finally released.
Game Informer shared the news with the world:
"Somehow the guys at Game Informer magazine discovered Duke Nukem Forever's launch date before I did," joked Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software and executive producer of Duke Nukem Forever. "But I cannot imagine any better video game news source team than Game Informer to reveal the moment of truth for the most inconceivable, incorrigible and inspiring turn around story in the history of the video game industry - the coming of Duke Nukem Forever on May 3, 2011."
"The moment fans all over the world have been waiting for is almost here," says Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. "May 3, 2011 marks Duke's return as he unleashes his brash and brutally honest wit on the world. His return is going to be epic and one that will make video gaming history!"
Duke Nukem Forever was officially announced on April 28, 1997 so its possibly been the longest antipated game inthe history of gaming! It will be available across platforms so will be found on the Xbox, PS3 and will have a PC version as well. Here's the press release.
