After 3D Realms downsized in 2009, Duke Nukem Forever was finished by Triptych Games, Gearbox Software and Piranha Games. Announced in 1997 following the success of Duke Nukem 3D, it was delayed several times, which was attributed to engine changes, understaffing, and a lack of a development plan. Like its predecessor, Duke Nukem Forever features pop culture references, toilet humor, and adult content.ĭuke Nukem Forever began development under 3D Realms and underwent a severely protracted development that lasted more than 14 years. Players control Duke Nukem as he comes out of retirement to battle an alien invasion. It is the fourth main installment in the Duke Nukem series and the sequel to Duke Nukem 3D (1996). I have no knowledge who leaked this.Duke Nukem Forever is a 2011 first-person shooter game developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K for Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

Just a smattering of barely populated test levels. No, I’m not really interested in talking about it or retreading a painful past. One of the game’s directors, George Broussard, took to Twitter to confirm that what’s here does indeed look legit but that fans should be aware it’s just a “smattering of barely populated test levels.” Those of us who’ve been gaming long enough will recall that the early version of Duke Nukem Forever was scrapped and the game didn’t reappear until 2011 as a whole new title that was completely torn to shreds by critics and fans alike – mostly because it was aggressively shitty.Īccording to x0r, what’s present in the leaked content from the original version represents almost every chapter of the cancelled game in “some form”, though much of it is just empty test stages and placeholders with little gameplay. A playable build of the famously-canned 2001 version of Duke Nukem Forever has seemingly leaked and could soon be available for all to download and check out.Īs reported on fansite Duke4, a 4chan user known as ‘x0r’ has obtained the build and has been posting screenshot and video evidence as well as claiming that they’ll leak the files (including the editor and full source code) to the wider internet in June.
