Apogee: 2K Games working on another Duke Nukem game |
Ó
Duke Nukem Forever may have been banished to development hell, but the Duke's story isn't done. Aside from Apogee and Deep Silver's Duke Nukem Trilogy for the PSP and DS, Apogee says that 2K Games is also working on another Duke Nukem game.
This comes from GamePolitics' inspection into a court document filed by Apogee Software on Friday. You'll recall that there's a legal battle currently going on between Apogee and Take Two over the aborted Duke Nukem Forever project.
The document reveals that back in October 2007, Apogee and 2K Games entered into an agreement wherein the latter got exclusive rights to develop a new game based on the Duke Nukem franchise.
This game -- which the document clarifies is not DNF -- was given the working title "Duke Begins". The original development schedule had it pegged for a mid-2010 release. The document continues:
Take Two and/or its subsidiary 2K Games halted or otherwise cancelled all development work by the third-party game developer on the Duke Begins game in April 2009... without Apogee's approval or consent...
When Apogee confronted Take-Two and 2K Games about the... cancellation of the Duke Begins development work... Take-Two and 2K Games simply denied it... Take-Two and 2K Games are taking such actions with a goal of pressuring Apogee to sell the Duke Nukem franchise rights to Take-Two for less than their true value.
GamePolitics contacted a Take Two rep but the company declined to comment because of the ongoing court proceedings.

duke deserves better than this.
stupid custody battles...
I wish 3D Realms had got DNF in reasonable time so that we didn't have to miss out on it Forever.
I'm also sad about the fact that Duke3D will forever more be the pinacle of the duke franchise. Looking at what 3D Realms had done it looks as though it was going to be an awesome game.
Duke Nukem: Never.
As is it will still prolly never happen
But unfortunately,
3D Realms did this too themselves. They kept changing engines for DNF every couple of years.
3D Realms had a big ego and it backfired on them. They wanted DNF to look better than any other game so they kept changing engines every a new powerful engine came out.
