The tubes are alight with new rumors that Gearbox – creators of Borderlands and one of those WWII games, Medal of Brothers or Call in Arms or whatever – has been tapped to take over development of Duke Nukem Forever, a game that’s been in development since the Paleozoic and finally got canceled in 2009 when 3D Realms, its creator, went belly-up.
1UP Network, The Escapist, and other outlets are reporting that 3D Realms, developer/publisher of games since time immemorial, has shut its doors. This means an uncertain fate for Duke Nukem Forever, now in its 12th year of development, though by this point I don’t think anyone really expected it to ship anyway.
