3DR Teases 'Numerous' Duke Nukem Games


Recommended Posts

They are currently being sued over DNF, and now it looks like 3DR didn't really shutdown, what the hell can be going on:

While it's been a rather tumultuous year for Duke Nukem series handler 3D Realms--the company laid off its internal development team in May, leading to a messy legal feud with publisher Take-Two over Duke Nukem Forever--CEO Scott Miller still envisions a bright future for the ass-kicking, gum-lacking action hero.

"The next few years should see a strong resurgence in Duke," Miller states in the first printed issue of Gamesauce. "There are numerous other Duke games in various stages of development, several due out this year. We are definitely looking to bring Duke into casual gaming spaces, plus there are other major Duke games in production."

"Almost all of these [projects] are unannounced," he added.

Likely among those projects are the two remaining Duke iPhone games previously promised by Miller, the handheld Duke Nukem Trilogy coming to Nintendo DS and PSP via Frontline Studios, and the rumored Xbox Live Arcade port of Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project. Furthermore, the Duke himself recently began teasing something called "D-Day" with a mysterious image, vowing that he "doesn't stay down for long."

In addition, Borderlands and Brothers in Arms developer Gearbox was working on an all-new entry dubbed "Duke Begins," though it had "been halted" as of July 2009.

As for the long-coming Duke Nukem Forever, Miller stressed that "we've never said that Duke Nukem Forever has ceased development," explaining "yes, we released the internal team, but that doesn't correlate to the demise of the project." Back in June, 3D Realms claimed it was still working on "the development of" Duke Nukem Forever, despite having "released the majority of its employees working on the development."
