Duke Nukem Forever confirmed by Gearbox, coming in 2011

[Matthew DeCarlo]

Duke Nukem Forever is in fact being developed by Gearbox -- and that's straight from the horse's mouth. Gearbox founder Randy Pitchford confirmed today that development on the title is being completed. As it turns out, the studio picked the project up sometime late last year, and they're just polishing things up for a 2011 release on PC, Xbox 360 as well as the PlayStation 3.

What's more, Gearbox officially unveiled the title at PAX today -- and not just a teaser video either. A fully playable copy is right out in the open for attendees to test drive. Hands-on gameplay footage was being streamed live here, but that's over now. The replay should be online shortly.

Story-wise, according to Pitchford, "aliens come and say they're going to be our friends and Duke knows this isn't going to work out. Duke once again is in the pivotal spot and its up to him to save the world." Both single-player and multi-player modes are confirmed.

I'll believe it when I've paid for it and see it downloading. Until then, this is still vaporware.

Wasn't this just guaranteed about a year ago? I guess everyone uses Blizzard tactics these days.

Randy Pitchford was involved with the development of at least Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition. I believe he was a coder, but I'm not quite entirely certain. He could have been a level designer as well. Regardless, Duke has been in very capable hands.

Great news, Gearbox is a good game company that I respect, despite their console porting (I've never really had issues with it, not even in Borderlands.)

Next of many game classics, which will be ruined by consoles. If this situation will continue, I will never become a gamer again.
