Yes Duke Nukem fans, if for some reason you're still playing Duke Nukem Forever's multiplayer then good news, some DLC is heading your way. 2K Games announced today that the new "Hail to the Icons Parody Pack" will be heading to the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC sometime this Fall.
The new DLC pack does have a surprisingly large amount of content in it. Three new game modes will show up; Freeze Tag, where players work together to freeze and shatter their opponents; Hot Potato, where players try and hold onto the 'babe' as long as they can; and a "free-for-all Duke style" mode in Hail to the King. There will also be four new maps that parody other (better) giant gaming franchises. New weapons will also be included in the pack.
Here is 2K's description of the new maps. See the subtlety, clever isn't it (not really).
- Call of Duke – Duke engages in modern combat in a war-torn city. Foes don’t stand a chance against the Duke when he spams the map with the N00b T00b.
- Sandbox – Players take the role of mini-Duke in a giant sandbox with two bases at either end made out of children’s toys. This map features Sticky Bombs.
- Inferno – Time machine engage! Duke does combat in a hellish landscape of lava and teleporters. Who turned on the 16-bit graphics, and more importantly, where did this DFG come from?
- 2Forts1Bridge – Hats? Duke doesn’t need no stinking hats. Give him a minigun and he’ll beat off all comers.
No word yet on a price for "Hail to the Icons," but those First Access Club members who registered their membership before the game launched will get the pack for free.
So if you're really hurting for some more Duke, well there you go.
