3D Realms, the makers of Duke Nukem Forever, close

Posted by phorner On May 7, 2009

Duek Nukem ForeverIt’s been confirmed. 3D Realms, the company behind the Duke Nukem franchise has closed it’s doors. Duke Nukem Forever has been under development for 12 years now, undergoing many engine changes and complete scrapping and restarts along the way.

With companies like EA reporting over a billion dollars in losses, it’s no wonder 3D Realms couldn’t find the necessary financial backing to finish off Duke Nukem Forever. 12 years is a huge amount of time and money to pour into a game.

I loved Duke Nukem when it first came out, spending many hours playing multiple games with my friends over 2400 baud modems. Hopefully, someone else will pick up the rights to the game and get it finished off. Hopefully we won’t have to wait another 12 years to see the final product!
