It's finally, really, actually ... maybe going to happen at this point. The rumors are true: Gearbox Software and 2K Games have taken on the Herculean task of completing and releasing 3D Realms' unfinished Duke Nukem Forever. The project was officially unveiled today at PAX during a livestreamed presentation at the 2K Games booth and announced for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. "It's coming out in 2011," Gearbox president Randy Pitchford said during the presentation. (Of course, we're skeptical about any release date associated with this particular title.)
Gearbox began finishing Duke Nukem Forever in late 2009, according to The Wall Street Journal. "Clearly the game hadn't been finished at 3D Realms but a lot of content had been created," Pitchford told WSJ.
"We're in the polishing phase now. This is a game where we can not make a promise we can not fulfill," Pitchford added. "We need to get past the shock and awe, and then we can go to all the retailers and first parties and work out a launch plan."
Duke Nukem Forever is a sequel to Duke Nukem 3D and will feature both a single-player campaign and multiplayer. "Aliens come and say they're going to be our friends, and Duke knows this isn't going to work out," Pitchford revealed of the plot. "Duke once again is in the pivotal spot and it's up to him to save the world." Joystiq has some gameplay footage: here
I cannot believe that this game is actually coming out, and I really can't wait to play it.

I could not believe it when I read it. I think the video game world stopped turning when this story broke...

Chinese Democracy came out, so it's only inevitable that this would too. Now Dre needs to finish Detox.

Something about this screams that it should be a downloadable title.
I think putting this in stores is a mistake. On XNL or the PSN, people might see it and go "oh sh*t!" Plus, it would most likely be cheaper online. I really don't care about this game, but I can't imagine some one seeing this in Walmart for $60 and picking it up.

Just an FYI, Gamestop is now taking Pre-Orders on this. Was in Gamestop and someone came in and paid-off their predorder for it. Hopefully he wont have to wait till 2020.
