So 3D Realms has shut down, thus making everyone believe that Duke Nukem Forever's gone back to the hole it once crawled out from. But if Apogee Software COO Terry Nagy is to be taken for consideration, we may here some word about the official status of DNF next week. It's either that or we get hear about the handheld trilogy set to come out for the PSP and DS.

It's been more than a decade since Duke Nukem Forever was revealed, but years have passed, and we've heard little about 3DRealms' highly anticipated project. Rumors that played from technological problems to loss of interest soon plagued the game, and it became apparent that ol' Duke was soon to be disintegrated by time. The developer has lately maintained that the project was back on track, but where's the proof? We tell you right now, the proof is right here. A warning though: the embedded video auto-plays on load.

We've just managed to pick up a couple of more screenshots for 3D Realm's upcoming Duke Nukem Forever title.

While they won't really give us much details to go on for the moment, they should at least tide us over until beefier info comes our way. The pics are available in the full article.

Funny how the past catches up pretty quick with a game popularly pegged "forever-in-development." News from the press waves has just filled us in to a deal that happened between Take-Two Interactive and GT Interactive which evidently granted the rights of publishing Duke Nukem Forever to the holders of the 2K Games brand. More at the full story.

According to the Dallas Business Journal, 3D Realms has confirmed that Duke Nukem Forever will be released this year and that it will be available not only on the PC but also on the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. Unfortunately, 3D Realms denied this, saying that it never said anything definite in its correspondence with the news site. For more on this, head on over to the full article.

In an interview, 3D Realms' Tramell “T-Ray” Isaac couldn't say it any better: work is being put into Duke Nukem: Forever. It's in refining and polishing stage, and the teaser we last saw was made of actual footage from Duke's awaited return. More details (no alien toilets, sorry) at the full article.

Duke Nukem Forever was often thought to be a PC-only release, since it was to be the true successor of the then-PC catalyst for LAN partying, time-killing, and bad-mouthing - the revolutionary Duke Nukem 3D. But it seems 3DRealms has newer plans laid out for the next installment, and it's likely to spread some Christmas cheer to all. 3DRealms CEO Scott Miller spills some delight at the full story.

A decade since the initial announcement of the development of Duke Nukem Forever, and 3D Realms now releases the game's latest video trailer. It's no small matter to say we've waited a very, very long time for this teaser, which shows us glimpses of how the Duke's been doing all these years. The video's available over in the full article.

Vaporware, shovelware, call Duke Nukem Forever whatever you like - but the guys over at 3D Realms are still determined to deliver the quintessential Duke Nukem experience yet, and they're going to release a trailer tomorrow to prove just that. Yes, you read that right - a teaser trailer of Duke Nukem Forever with actual gameplay. Yes, we know, our monocles popped off too!

Check out the entire scoop in the full article.

3DRealms' Duke Nukem Forever has been in development for what seems like... forever. Joking aside, we found this video floating around in the web which is allegedly part of a viral video campaign for the game.

In this bloggers' humble opinion, this video posted by RedShirtSpeaks on YouTube looks professionally done and the voice acting was spot on. If this were just a fan made video, then we applaud the skills of the one who made it. However, we can't discount the possibility that this was released by 3D Realms as a sort of herald that Duke will be arriving this year.

We're sure you're probably itching to see the video now to make your own judgements. Here it is. I'd like to end with a quote from Duke Nukem 3d that you'll be hearing in the video: "Long live the King baby!"
