The most delayed video game of all 
time is adding to its record.
Duke Nukem Forever, which has been in development for over a dozen years and very nearly died in 2009, won’t make its targeted May 3 release date. Instead, developer Gearbox Software has announced (via a clever, but not entirely work safe YouTube video) that it will ship to U.S. players on June 14.
“Duke Nukem Forever,” the longest 
running punchline in the video game industry, finally has a ship date – and all signs are the game will actually stand by this one.
After more than a decade in development, an apparent cancellation, an IP ownership transfer and a miraculous revival, the long-in-development game will finally hit retail shelves on May 3.
It took nearly five years for James Cameron to bring “Avatar” 
to the big screen — but the Na’Vi have nothing on “Duke Nukem Forever.”
First announced in 1997, this videogame — featuring one of gaming’s best known characters — has been re-thought, re-booted and presumed dead multiple times. On Friday, Take-Two Interactive Software pulled off one of the gaming world’s biggest surprises, not only announcing a firm release date and expanded platform footprint — it will ship in 2011 for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 — but letting stunned gamers play it for the first time at last weekend’s Penny Arcade Expo, a fan-centric gaming event held in Seattle.
