Duke Nukem Forever Has Gone Gold - Yep, They're Not Lying. It's Coming Out!

If you're not familiar with the phrase "Going Gold" in the game industry, let me just some it up for you, for any game that's in develoment - It's done. Yup, that's what it means and, yeah, Duke Nukem Forever has finally gone gold! After 15 years of delays and waiting, some have given up on hope for the release of the game, some not, we'll all finally be able to play this game on June 14th in the States and June 10th International.

The following is from the official Press Release:

"Duke Nukem Forever is the game that was once thought to be unshipppable, and yet here we are, on the precipice of history," said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. "Today marks an amazing day in the annals of gaming lore, the day where the legend of Duke Nukem Forever is finally complete and it takes that final step towards becoming a reality."

Created over the span of 15 years, Duke Nukem Forever was first developed with the intense passion and commitment from an inspired group of dedicated designers, artists and programmers at 3D Realms under the direction of game industry icon, George Broussard.

"Duke Nukem Forever and its journey to store shelves is legendary," said George Broussard, creative director at 3D Realms. "It's an epic tale of four game development studios that banded together and did the unthinkable and shipped the unshipppable. When you play this game you will be reminded of that epic journey at every turn and in every small detail of the game. The character, attitude, interactivity, gameplay and political incorrectness combine to make a Duke Nukem game a unique gaming experience. In the timeless words of Duke Nukem it's finally time to 'Come Get Some'. Come be a part of gaming history."

Also, remember the fact that there will be a demo just 1 week before the game's retail release! Be sure to actually own Boderlands: Game of the Year Edition or at least have it pre-ordered and register at the game's First Access Club!

All in all, the Duke is officially back!
