On September 3, 2010, after 13 years, Duke Nukem Forever was officially reported by 2K Games to be in development at Gearbox Software. The case was settled with prejudice and details undisclosed in May 2010. 3D Realms retorted that Take-Two's legal interest in the game is limited to their publishing right. Take-Two Interactive, which owns the publishing rights to the game, filed a lawsuit in 2009 against 3D Realms over their failure to finish development. Statements by the company indicated that the project was due to go gold soon with pictures of final development.

In May 2009, 3D Realms was downsized for financial reasons, resulting in the loss of the game's development team. Originally in development under 3D Realms, director George Broussard, one of the creators of the original Duke Nukem game, first announced the title's development in April 1997, and promotional information for the game was released in one form or another from 1997 to 2008.Īfter repeatedly announcing and deferring release dates, 3D Realms announced in 2001 that it would be released simply "when it's done". Intended to be groundbreaking, Duke Nukem Forever has become infamous in the video games industry and become synonymous with vaporware due to its severely-protracted development schedule the game has been in development since 1997.
