Duke Nukem Forever In 2005?
3D Realms' long-delayed first-person shooter Duke Nukem Forever may not see release until 2005, Take-Two Interactive CEO Jeffrey Lapin noted during Take-Two's investor conference call earlier today. The game's official release date remains "when it's done," but in response to a question about the status of the project, Lapin stated that its developers "expect the game to be completed sometime at the end of 2004 or the beginning of 2005."
Duke Nukem Forever has of course become synonymous with chronic delays since not long after its 1997 debut. Since its acquisition by the publishing imprint now known as Gathering (formerly Gathering of Developers, or G.O.D.), the game has crept all the way from a tentative late 2001 release date.
During another Take-Two conference call from earlier this year, Lapin noted that the publisher has written Duke Nukem Forever out of its financial expectations entirely, and simply hopes that 3D Realms will one day finish the game.
To offer some perspective on the game's ever-lengthening development cycle, if Duke Nukem Forever does arrive in that late '04/early '05 time frame, it will have spent more time in development than...
...all three films in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
...seven Final Fantasy RPGs (VII, VIII, IX, X, X-2, XI, XII).
...the term in office allowed any president of the United States.
As new Duke Nukem Forever news arises with each passing Take-Two fiscal quarter, we'll update accordingly.
