Duke Nukem Forever “gone gold”, coming June 10
Vaporware no more! 2K Games and Gearbox Software have announced that Duke Nukem Forever, has “gone gold” and will be available at retailers on June 10, 2011 internationally and on June 14, 2011 in North America. Yep, that took 15 years to go gold, but finally it’s here! What a bloody hell wait. The game will be available on Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC.
“Duke Nukem Forever is the game that was once thought to be unshipppable, and yet here we are, on the precipice of history,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. “Today marks an amazing day in the annals of gaming lore, the day where the legend of Duke Nukem Forever is finally complete and it takes that final step towards becoming a reality.”
Created over the span of 15 years, Duke Nukem Forever was first developed with the intense passion and commitment from an inspired group of dedicated designers, artists and programmers at 3D Realms under the direction of game industry icon, George Broussard.
“Duke Nukem Forever and its journey to store shelves is legendary,” said George Broussard, creative director at 3D Realms. “It’s an epic tale of four game development studios that banded together and did the unthinkable and shipped the unshipppable. When you play this game you will be reminded of that epic journey at every turn and in every small detail of the game. The character, attitude, interactivity, gameplay and political incorrectness combine to make a Duke Nukem game a unique gaming experience. In the timeless words of Duke Nukem it’s finally time to ‘Come Get Some’. Come be a part of gaming history.”
