This is somewhat old news, but what the heck. Now we may never see Duke Nukem Forever be released.

Even more confusing since they recently relaunched the Apogee brand as a second company.

Apogee is still around, 3D Realms isn't.

It is unclear at this point if anyone from 3D Realms is involved in NeoApogee, though it's been made clear they aren't in management positions.

Take-2 owns the publishing rights, so DNF may come out after all.

Still needs a developer. With 3D Realms shutting it all down...

For those wondering why DNF was in development for so long, the above link explains a bit. Seriously, they must have hired really dumb people in management.

Unreleased DNF material is now shown to the public.

Life goes on perfectly well without DNF, really.

Take 2 can't publish something that isn't there.

Always bet on duke... oh wait. I complete forgot about this game till I saw something about it in yahoo news.

I want DNF to just die. Vaporware of the century! Duke3d was so awesome DNF would never have topped it even if all the years it was in limbo were actually spent working on it.

I own a full copy of Duke Nukem 2.

I am unsure if I still have Duke Nukem 3D.

I know the DNF jokes are a bit tired and old but, it has to be said.
Duke Nukem Forever, and ever, and ever.
Coming 21XX

Ho ho, 3D Realms isn't fully dead after all. It's just in smaller capacity.

dang, that news remind me of scene in duke3d:

* "Duke Must Die!" or "Die, Duke, Die!" messages appears *

Duke responded: "Hmm, I don't think so!"

Rest in peace Duke

Though his most (in)famous game is dead, Duke still lives.
There's a new trilogy in the works for PSP and DS.

You're all so quick to declare DNF dead, but there's no way there isn't someone who's going to pick this project up.

Yup, someone will either pick it up, or just buy the rights and shovel out some cheaply produced crap game. Either strategy will probably result in PROFIT.
