Vaporware no more! Gaming's most legendary hero makes his triumphant return
this June.
Windsor, UK – May 24, 2011 – 2K Games and Gearbox Software are proud to
announce that Duke Nukem Forever, one of the most anticipated entertainment
properties of all time, has "gone gold" and will be available at retailers on
June 10, 2011 internationally and on June 14, 2011 in North America.
The road to gold was paved over the course of 15 years and its legendary path
climaxes on the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft,
PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC.
Gamers who pre-order the title from select outlets will ensure that they are
among the first to experience this legendary piece of gaming history when the
demo* launches on June 3, 2011 for all platforms, exclusively for Duke Nukem
First Access Club Members.
"Duke Nukem Forever is the game that was once thought to be unshippable, 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 unshippable. 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."
In 2009, after many believed that Duke Nukem Forever would never be completed,
a small team of intrepid developers, known as Triptych Studios, resurrected the
dream. Through their inspiring and steadfast commitment to the game and their
exemplary talent and skill, they finally assembled the pieces to create an
incredible, epic and cohesive gameplay experience. Under the production of
Gearbox Software, Triptych Studios, Piranha Games and many other contributors
joined together in a heroic effort to complete the long awaited game as a
polished, full-featured triple-A title.
"Always bet on Duke, I did," said Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox
Software. "I bet on all of the developers who have ever been a part of this
legendary project and I bet that none of us want to live in a world without
the Duke. I've played the final game and it is an incredible experience - a
once-in-a-lifetime opus of interactive entertainment that reminds me once
again why Duke Nukem is our King. The developers of Duke Nukem Forever at 3D
Realms, Triptych, Piranha and finally at Gearbox deserve our thanks and
respect for never giving up and have truly shown us that they have balls of
steel!"
Strictly for the biggest Duke Nukem fans, the First Access Club grants members
exclusive access to the pre-release demo on June 3, 2011 so that they are

Apologising to no one, Duke Nukem Forever is the high-octane video game
equivalent of a Hollywood summer blockbuster.
Starring the legendary lady killer and alien slayer, Duke Nukem Forever brings
gamers back to a blastastic time when games were filled with head-popping,
bone-rattling action, brazenly crude humor, impossibly statuesque women dying
for affection, and catchy one-liners meant to make you laugh out loud.
