Notably, the 2001 prototype only mentions but does not actually feature Bombshell. It was significantly more developed and closer to the final 2011 release than the 1996 Duke Nukem Forever side-scroller - which is not even a direct antecessor of this prototype - or the 1998 build shown in an E3 trailer from that year. Current and former representatives from Gearbox Software and 3D Realms have provided commentary on the contents of the leak, but to date, no one has publicly objected - through legal action or other means - to online distribution of the files, which remain widely available to download. Screenshots and video footage from the prototype were leaked by x0r_jmp on May 9, 2022, and the actual development files were leaked the following day. In the meantime, fans of Duke Nukem can look forward to the supposed release of the 2001 playtest content for Duke Nukem Forever in June.Duke Nukem Forever (2001) is a singleplayer and multiplayer first-person action and FPS game in the Duke Nukem series.ĭuke Nukem Forever 2001 is the title commonly used to refer to the leaked 2001 prototype of Duke Nukem Forever (2011).
Famed action film director Michael Bay's production company, Platinum Dunes, was attached to the project at the time. Even a planned prequel, Duke Nuken Begins, got the ax in 2008 shortly after making a then-unreleased trailer.Ī proposed film adaptation with John Cena as Duke Nuken has suffered a similar development process, with little word on its status since it first made the rounds in 2018. Over the following ten years, the game continued to suffer development hell. A system change from the Quake II engine to Unreal Engine led to years of delays, though they first appeared worth it after Gearbox unveiled a trailer at E3 2001, which quickly became the talk of the convention. It became one of the most anticipated sequels in the industry after the success of Duke Nukem 3D in 1996, with the planned sequel getting a showcase at E3 in 1998. Duke Nuken Forever has become notorious since its 2011 release.
