The date of Duke Nukem 3D’s long-awaited arrival on Xbox Live Arcade has been revealed to be September 24th… that’s next week! The new release of the classic 90’s first-person shooter is said to have a ‘gameplay rewind’ feature, allowing players to undo their mistakes, as well as a ‘saved film’ ability, so players can create footage of their multiplayer carnage to watch again and again.

It’s difficult to estimate how much of an influence Duke Nukem 3D had on the world of 90’s FPS gaming, as well as FPS gaming in general, after introducing many staples that modern-day shooters implement as expected features.

After the success of Doom from id Software, 3D Realms decided to bring their 2D action hero, Duke Nukem, into the ‘third’ dimension with explosive results. While we still wait on the fourth game in the series, Duke Nukem Forever, and news of an upcoming movie has surfaced, Duke Nukem 3D should keep fans happy for a little while longer.
