Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford has revealed he thinks it would have been possible to force out Duke Nukem Forever in May, but doing so would have led to an inferior product and that wouldn’t be fair on Duke’s fans.
“There is always uncertainty and we use experience and trends to help us be predictive,” Pitchford told Eurogamer. “We are not perfect when it comes to predicting uncertain outcomes, but we are perfect at being committed to our goals and working relentlessly towards them.
“I think we may have been able to force May, but we think that would’ve introduced risks that would not have served gamers who have waited as long as we have to finally play Duke Nukem Forever.”
He concluded: “We are driven by fans who are as anxious for the game to finally be released as we are. The continued support of our fans does miracles for our morale and that drives quality and performance. It’s for the fans that I am confident this slight schedule adjustment is the right thing to do.”
Duke Nukem Forever will now be released June 10 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
