The Duke is back, guys! After years of delays when it was in development at 3D Realms, GearBox Software who is now in charge of the game has officially announced that Duke Nukem Forever will be available on May 3, 2011.
GearBox Software had become the new developer behind the long overdue title in the series when it made its playable debut at the Penny Arcade Expo 2010 in Seatle, Washington.
With the announcement of the release date, GearBox Software has released a new trailer along with it.

We do however have a censored version, but it's better than nothing!
Duke Nukem Forever had originally begun development at 3D Realms in 1997. After delays and numerous game engines used, 3D Realms had laid off staff and closed down due to lack of funding on the game. Take-Two sued 3D Realms for not completing the game, but the lawsuit has since been settled. GearBox became the new studio to finish development on Duke
