Duke Nukem Forever Trailer and Release Date

After over a decade of hoping and wishing, the wait is finally over as Duke Nukem Forever has a release date of May 3rd, 2011. Development of the game was taken over by Gearbox Software (Borderlands) and from the look of the trailer, it seems to stay pretty faithful to the original games. We have both the official trailer and press release for you to check out:

"Put on your shades and prepare to step into the boots of Duke Nukem,whose legend has reached epic proportions in the years since his last adventure. The alien hordes are invading and only Duke can save the world. Pig cops, alien shrink rays and enormous alien bosses can’t stop our hero from accomplishing his one and only goal: to save the world, save the babes and to be a bad-ass while doing it. The King arrives with an arsenal of over-the-top weapons, non-stop action, and unprecedented levels of interactivity. This game puts the pedal to the metal and tongue firmly in cheek. Shoot hoops, lift weights, read adult magazines, draw crude messages on whiteboards or ogle the many hot women that occupy Duke’s life - that is if you can pull yourself away long enough from destroying alien invaders. Duke Nukem was and will forever be a gaming icon, and this is his legend.
