We’re not even going to say it.

2K Games has announced that Gearbox Software’s Duke Nukem Forever has been delayed into June, and past its initial (‘final’) release date of May 2nd in North America, and May 6th in Europe, the UK and South Africa.

The announcement was made in a ‘hilarious’ video featuring Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford (included below). So when is Duke Nukem Forever scheduled for release now?

The game will now release on June 10th worldwide, and then June 14th in North America. Watch the delay announcement video below:

A very special message from Gearbox Software - International Edition

No, it’s not April 1st.

President of 2K, Christoph Hartmann said in a statement:

“We’re committed to deliver a laugh-out-loud, politically incorrect experience that people will talk about for years to come. We thank Duke’s fans for their continued patience - I promise this won’t take another 15 years.”

In addition to the above video announcement, Randy Pitchford offered his apologies:

“I’m very sorry for the added delay. We’ve all been working extremely hard and are very eager to deliver the game to you. I’ve been thinking of these lyrics from the great country song, ‘He’s The Duke’ - ‘He told us if we waited we could Come Get Some, but I never knew Forever was going to be so long.’ If you’re like me, June cannot come quickly enough.”
