Still Waiting: Duke Nukem Developer Folds

-->

There's a certain poetry in the fact that fans will likely have to continue on waiting perhaps until the end of time for Duke Nukem Forever. 3D Realms, the developer behind the infinitely anticipated next installment of the first-person shooter confirmed rumors that it had in fact closed its doors.

"It's not a marketing thing," the company's Webmaster told gaming blog Shack News. "It's true. I have nothing further to say at this time."

Duke Nukem Trilogy, a handheld version of the series being developed by Frontline Games, is apparently unaffected by the news. Duke Nukem Forever publisher, Take-Two, meanwhile, still retains the rights to the game.
