Here's a little late night rumor for you guys, courtesy of the straight shooters over at Kotaku.
According to undisclosed sources, Gearbox Software, the development studio behind Borderlands, may be taking the reins of Duke Nukem Forever after 3D Realms lost the rights to the title some months back.
Yes it is merely a rumor right now, but it's also technically the first word we've heard of a DNF revival anywhere. As with all rumors, and I'm sure I will say this each time a rumor goes up, be sure to take this with a grain of salt until some facts are announced.
According to undisclosed sources, Gearbox Software, the development studio behind Borderlands, may be taking the reins of Duke Nukem Forever after 3D Realms lost the rights to the title some months back.
Duke Nukem Forever, according to sources who wished to remain anonymous, is now in the hands of Gearbox and is planned to be released under the studio's name. Gearbox was outed as the developer of the apparently scrapped Duke Nukem spin-off Duke Begins earlier this year.
Take-Two Interactive still maintains publishing rights to the title, which the company confirmed to Kotaku tonight. (A company spokesperson declined to comment about the status of the Duke Nukem Forever project and whether it is in the works at Gearbox.)
One source indicated that a playable demo of Duke Nukem Forever will be available later this year.
