If you felt physical discomfort and deep-seated anxiety when 2K Games and Gearbox announced an actual release date for Duke Nukem Forever, never fear. In time-honored tradition, the game has been delayed again by about a month. It will now be released on June 14th in the U.S. and June 10th internationally.
It is tempting and topical to muse that this has something to do with the controversy over the butt-slapping multiplayer mode, but that seemed like kind of a deliberate troll to begin with; really, Duke Nukem Forever is probably being delayed again because it is Duke Nukem Forever.
Below, Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford explains and feels the pain:
2K has humorously (?) branded this “the shortest delay in the history of Duke Nukem Forever.”
