We know, we know, as crazy and unfathomable as it sounds, Duke Nukem Forever's launch is being pushed back. Who would have guessed? Okay, so maybe everyone could have anticipated yet another delay, but at least this time it's only being held back a month and will ship in June (hopefully) instead of May, as originally planned (actually, it was originally supposed to ship over a decade ago). Still, we have to hand it to Gearbox for keeping a sense of humor about the whole thing, which is really all they can do given DNF's comical history of delays.
"We thank Duke's fans for their continued patience -- I promise this won't take another 15 years," says 2K President Christoph Harmann in a statement.
But it's not the written statement that has us willing to let 2K take another mulligan. Check out this video announcing the delay:
You know, I didn't even know it was coming out in May. I knew it was sometime this year, but other than that, I didn't pay attention (until now.. hmmm) because, well, it seemed stupid too.
Did anyone not see this coming. delays arent really a surprise anymore for this game, an actual release might be. Good to see they aren't being too serious about it though.
