According to the official Duke Nukem Facebook page, "Duke Nukem doesn't stay down for long." Or so a newly released screen shot of something labeled "D-Day" would imply.

That screen shot of a character who sure doesn't look like Mr. Nukem taking aim at a beast that looks Duke universe appropriate was spotted by Shacknews earlier today, leading to speculation that yet another Duke Nukem project is in the works in some capacity and that it could one day actually be released.

Or not. The "D-Day" information offered by the official Duke Nukem Facebook presence doesn't offer any further details about what the "preview pic" is for. It could be a snap from the on-hold Duke Begins from Gearbox Software or from the purportedly still in development Duke Nukem Forever from 3D Realms.

Who wants to place some bets?

My bet: It'll be released for the PS5 (If we're lucky)

Maybe it will be the same as Chinese Democracy, an overproduce, self-indulgent flop that would continue to be the butt-end of a joke if anyone cared about it. Just as the music on that album sounded outdated, how is a game from 1997 supposed to be relevant 13 years later?

That said, the term "Vaporware" should just direct readers to this game in dictionaries. Someone must randomly post computer generated shots at random intervals to keep this meme going.

I'm pretty certain Duke Nukem is dead by this point. That guy looks more like Snake Eyes than Duke Nukem and the series has been eclipsed by Halo in the popular imagination.

How bout a Duke Nukem movie instead? They could get Ron Perlman to be Duke. You're all laughing at me, aren't you?

Yes?

I think most people stopped giving a shit ten years ago. Frankly Duke Nukem 3d was never that good to be begin with.

There was a movie in the works around 1997, but it got canned.

As for the screenshot, the monster looks like a Duke Nukem baddie, and the stage looks like the football stadium from Duke Nukem 64. The character, however, looks nothing like Duke Nukem.

We'll just have to wait and see.

I would love to see the game finally get a release, but it keeps on dragging out making people care less and less about it.

Well, I've just got my copy in the mail.

Let me just unwrap it...



GAH! Not again! Curse you, ebay!
