It’s been going on 13 years since Duke Nukem Forever was first announced, and you’d think that the closing of its developer, 3D Realms last year, and the effective cancellation of the game would be enough to take down the Duke for good.
Well, think again…maybe.
During a recent appearance at MAGfest (Music and Gaming Festival), the voice actor who portrays Duke Nukem, John St. John, jokingly avoided answering an attendee’s question regarding the long, long, long, long, long awaited shooter, Pixel Enemy reports.
“I’m not allowed to speak on that subject, sir,” said St. John. In response to the subsequent booing his response elicited, St. John jumped back in to say, “No, no. Don’t be disappointed. Read between the lines. Why am I not allowed to talk about it?”
So there you have it. Duke Nukem Forever will be hitting store shelves in fall 2019! Thanks for bringing this 70 year on again/off again Nukem melodrama to an end Mr. St. John.
Actually, given that 3D Realms' CEO Scott Miller recently revealed that the developer is planning to release tons of Duke content over the next year, Forever could very well find itself off of life-support sometime in the near future.

ok, so it's taken like 45 years to make... but it's still gonna kick ass once it comes out! I have loved duke nukem from the beginning and will forever love these games... see what I did there?

Good, I played Duke Nukem on XBLA and it was great, cheesy but still great. They should make Duke Nukem everything, Duke Nukem movies, comics, condoms.

MY TURN!!! Ok, Duke... it was fun before, that's a must to be said, for sure. If it can be fun again, then let's have one HELL of a game! I, myself, just imagined the possibilities of this game in this next-gen world... SERIOUSLY, if designed with some of the things in my mind, there's no doubt that it could either be a re-birth for the series or a great death, which COULD be a damn good ending, if you ask me.
Hope this makes a few of you think, and game designers REALLY think.

Maybe this is a ploy.
Think About it. The name is Duke Nukem "Forever". Implying that it he is forever. So maybe 3D realms is keeping him alive forever, by throwing around that the game may still be alive. What a fking way to carry on a legacy if you ask me.

please die Duke Nukem. its too late

Ingenius... Somehow 3D Realms knew in 1997 that the game would take Forever to make AND WOULD NEVER DIE!

How about this, report something on the game when there is actually SOMETHING to report. Like a demo will be available on such and such date. Until then, it's just a waste of time reporting non-news. What's next? Reports on a new Buck Rogers's game for the Coleco II?

i am at the point now where i will believe it when i see it.

Soooo much antisipation for this game, i was sad to here that there would never be another duke nukem, but deep down new someone smart would pick this game up. the only problem with this on again off again on again crap is that it over hypes the game for no reason, this alone could kill the game for me when i do play it. Can Duke Nukem Forever stand the test of time, can they remake this game and have it not be a bad matt hazard game? we will see. OH U MUST HAVE MEGADETH MAKE THE SOUNDTRACK OR THE GAME WILL NOT HAVE THE SAME FEELING!

Its an excellent franchise it can't DIE!!! Out of all of my child hood memory games such as: Doom Wolf3d Turok 64 sim city DUKE NUKEM 3D was by far the best. The enviroment was so interactive, and the bad guys died in different ways.
Not to mention the great crude humor, like aliens taking number twos on the toilet, or Dukes love fro strippers.
I am shocked and DISGUSTED that in this gen I can't see myself in mirrors, or pee in urnials, or pay strippers to see their boobs.

it could be good. look at Doom 3... albeit Doom 3 was anticipated for over a decade.

Let's be real here. Who is actually waiting for this game? What like there are no other games that people want, there is some guy out there sitting in a chair not doing anything until he hears that DNF is coming out on such and such date.
I will say that I am waiting for this game, but I haven't been waiting. If the game comes out awesome, if it doesn't who cares. I would think more people are waiting for Starcraft 2 to come out. We know that game is coming but who knows when. Soon I hope.

Wouldn't it be cool for gaming if this game actually came out someday and it actually turned out pretty good? I'm just saying.
Socalmic47
This game will never live up to the hype and has no chance of being as good as the 1st person shooters that are already out there. By the time it does come out, the generation of gamers who actually remember Duke won't give two squirts of piss.
Scott Miller, flush your game and go away already.
fatman2008
I still don't understand why this game isn't called
Duke Nukem: Chinese Democracy
MentalCase950
Will something definitive please happen with this already! I have never been a big fan of this franchise, but make the damn game already. If this is to hard just let the damn thing die, it would be a merciful death and bring peace to all our lives.
MyXxBitterXxHeroics
can we just sue 3d realms for false expectations that have lasted a little over 13 years???
XwingVmanX
Seriously this game has to be setting a record for longest game in development ever. I will say one thing, this better be the best game in history of gaming or it was no worth the effort.

I'm more excited about a Shenmue III than Nukem Forever, though both projects would be awesome. And I expect both to be released around the same time.....
IamtheBat
1. Fact check: it's Jon St. John... not John St. John
2. I want this game to be the worst, graphically defunk piece of crap ever, and it needs to be BAD, really really Bad, and it needs to have multiplayer that supports a max of 6v6, and then we need to make it game of the year, and have it be the highest grossing videogame of all time, it will be such a Win.
