Duke Nukem Forever coming May 3, hell freezes over and blows up


Duke Nukem Forever had an initial release date of of sometime in 1998. You remember the nineties, right? No? Me neither. What I do remember is this game winning vaporware awards every year for something like nine consecutive years.

Well, last year a playable demo was on display at PAX, so the timing does kinda seem about right for a commercial release. Since the date has been confirmed by both the president of Gearbox Software and the president of 2K Games, I think at the very least, some degree of cautious optimism is probably in order.

If this sounds good to you, you definitely won't want to miss the brand spankin' new game trailer below, especially since (in typical Duke Nukem style) it's not safe for work.
