Hail to the King, Baby! Duke Nukem Forever gets a new trailer & ships May 3rd!

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
