There’s no denying Duke Nukem Forever was a little bit of a flop, however apparently there was one other model of the sport, created again in 2001, which was significantly extra spectacular, and far darker, although it by no means seen the sunshine of day.
But in accordance with Gearbox CEO, Randy Pitchford, which will change.
A Duke Nukem movie is within the works, with John Cena rumoured to play the title role.
During the newest episode of the Nerdvana Live Show (through DSOG), Randy Pitchford revealed we might even see the 2001 construct of Duke Nukem Forever in a future bundle for Duke Nukem. However, Take-Two owns the IP rights for Duke Nukem Forever, which means Gearbox can’t launch legacy content material, just like the 2001 construct, free of charge.
As Pitchford defined, the “easiest legal path” is for publishers Gearbox to only add the 2001 construct to a future Duke Nukem bundle, which means it might not be free for earlier house owners of the sport however would as a substitute be an additional characteristic included in a future launch. However Pitchford careworn followers shouldn’t have excessive expectations for the construct, or its launch.
But simply take a look at the unique trailer, it’s onerous to not:
According to Frederik Schreiber (through DSOG), VP at 3DRealms, the unreleased model of Duke Nukem Forever was 90% full, and seen a a lot completely different model of the sport we all know. The title had a darkish RPG vibe which seen Duke gather stock objects, meet NPCs, and unearth mysteries.
Hopefully we’ll get to see this unreleased construct sooner or later, and see for ourselves if it lives as much as the hype.
