Until today, that is.
Yesterday 3D Realms president George Broussard . (, Broussard joked the game would be out when pigs flew.) Today, he's explaining what that means. Or at least the game's new developer is.
At PAX Prime 2010, Gearbox (Brothers in Arms, Borderlands) president Randy Pitchford confirmed rumors that his studio has assumed responsibility for the practically mothballed shooter. What's more, he announced it'll be playable--that's right, playable--on the show floor.
"People seem to be enjoying the game a lot," reads a dispatch from 2K Games' Twitter feed. "How many [PAX] folks thought they'd leave Seattle having played [Duke Nukem Forever]?"
The game, due in 2011, will be available simultaneously for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Microsoft Windows.
