Duke Nukem Developer 3D Realms Shuts Down (Update 2)
Update 2: Duke Nukem Forever publisher Take-Two has confirmed to Shacknews that it was not funding development of the 3D Realms project.

"We can confirm that our relationship with 3D Realms for Duke Nukem Forever was a publishing arrangement, which did not include ongoing funds for development of the title," said Take-Two VP of communications Alan Lewis in a prepared statement.

"In addition, Take-Two continues to retain the publishing rights to Duke Nukem Forever," he added.

Update: Apogee Software and Deep Silver have issued a statement to Shacknews, confirming that the situation at 3D Realms has not affected the development of Frontline Games' upcoming handheld Duke Nukem Trilogy.

"Deep Silver and Apogee Software are not affected by the situation at 3D Realms," a representative for the companies told us. "Development on the Duke Nukem Trilogy is continuing as planned."

Not much of a shocker. Shame though I always wanted to see DNF, but I guess not now.

I'm here to kick a** and chew bubble gum...and I'm all out funding.

Should be in the record books for longest "in development" title...
I would love to see it finished, but I think it will stay the biggest gaming community joke of all time.

Hopefully some developer will pick up the slack and give us a proper modern Duke Nukem game someday.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I put $80 in the bank when I was a little kid hoping for one day DN:F would grace me with it's presence.

Well... now that there's no more DN:F I can fully dedicate myself to the arrival of Diablo3.

EDIT:

A studio representative has commented on the rumor regarding 3D Realms. Although it isn't a confirmation, it does hint a situation is brewing at the house that built Duke: "Deep Silver and Apogee Software are not affected by the situation at 3D Realms. Development on the Duke Nukem Trilogy is continuing as planned."

THERE IS HOPE.
