Gearbox Software, the studio behind Borderlands and Brothers in Arms, has acquired the full intellectual property rights of the Duke Nukem brand including Duke Nukem Forever and all future projects in a cooperative deal made with 3D Realms.
“Fifteen years ago, Duke Nukem 3D helped launch my professional video game development career,” said Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software. “The Gearbox Software team and I are ecstatic that we have grown to a position to be able to pick up and carry the torch and help Duke rise back to glory in his time of need. Fans of the legendary hero and all the incredible talent that have ever helped him all deserve the very best support that we can bring.”
Scott Miller, co-founder of 3D Realms added: “Gearbox was handpicked as the new home for Duke Nukem because of their continued passion, commitment and long-time heritage with the brand and 3D Realms. Gearbox and Duke Nukem make for a devastating match made in video game heaven.”
The first product to be released under the Duke Nukem brand will be the very long awaited Duke Nukem Forever, which was confirmed for release in 2011 at PAX on Friday.
