The most impossible thing in the world has just been accomplished, so look to the skies to see those pigs flying, and schedule a ski trip in Hell, because Gearbox Software has just announced that Duke Nukem Forever is finally finished, and has gone gold!

From a Twitter message posted by Gearbox:

“DUKE NUKEM FOREVER HAS GONE GOLD!!!”

Short, sweet and to the point – perfect!

Look forward to the return of Duke Nukem in his latest, explosive, 15-years in the making first-person shooter on June 10th in Europe, the UK and South Africa, and June 14th in North America!

Creative director at 3D Realms (the original developer of Duke Nukem Forever) George Broussard was given the chance to let us know how he feels about Duke’s journey to completion:

“Duke Nukem Forever and its journey to store shelves is legendary. It’s an epic tale of four game development studios that banded together and did the unthinkable and shipped the unshippable. When you play this game you will be reminded of that epic journey at every turn and in every small detail of the game.

“The character, attitude, interactivity, gameplay and political incorrectness combine to make a Duke Nukem game a unique gaming experience. In the timeless words of Duke Nukem it’s finally time to ‘Come Get Some’. Come be a part of gaming history.”

Here’s a bit of history on Duke Nukem Forever’s development, too:

“In 2009, after many believed that Duke Nukem Forever would never be completed, a small team of intrepid developers, known as Triptych Studios, resurrected the dream. Through their inspiring and steadfast commitment to the game and their exemplary talent and skill, they finally assembled the pieces to create an incredible, epic and cohesive gameplay experience.

“Under the production of Gearbox Software, Triptych Studios, Piranha Games and many other contributors joined together in a heroic effort to complete the long awaited game as a polished, full-featured triple-A title.”

Want to get excited about this completely over-the-top action game, which Randy Pitchford of Gearbox calls “a once-in-a-lifetime opus of interactive entertainment”?
