Duke Nukem Forever Dated

We’ve played Duke Nukem Forever it’s rather good – and soon you’ll be able to play it too.  Although we’ve previously run with a story citing ‘end of May’ as the release date for the much-delayed first person shooter, it now has a concrete date: May 3rd.

Yes, that’s the US date – Duke’s 100% American so it makes sense he’s there first – but everyone else won’t have long to wait, with the UK date apparently just 3 days later.

“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.”

Nice words, Pitchford, nice words.

  1. It took forever, but its finally here, I’ve seen clips and it looks quire gory. Similar to Soldier Of Fortune gore…

    • Maybe it’s not Duke Nukem at all maybe its his Mexican equivalent Senor El Nukem.

  2. I had to read this article about 4 times just to be sure the release date was May 3rd this year, and not in some impossibly far away future.
    Still won’t be sure until I see it.

    Duke DLC for GT5 (or vice versa) is rumoured. When a release date is confirmed, we’ll all know the world’s ended.

  3. I’m glad its finally finished, lets hope it can live up to the massive expectation.

    • After 10 years of waiting? I doubt it!

  4. It’s gonna be amazing! Can’t wait :)

  5. Off Topic

    “Duke’s 100% American so it makes sense he’s there first”
