Duke Nukem Forever’s DLC Will Be On Time

From now on, I’ll be referring to the time before Duke Nukem Forever’s release as “the good old days.” They were simpler times when gamers chuckled about Duke’s everlasting vaporware status, and the term “forever” actually referred to the game’s future release date. But now that we live in a world where Duke has been released, it’s as if Gearbox is just antagonizing us.

Today the developer announced that they would, for some reason, be releasing a downloadable content pack next week. The DLC, called ‘The Hail to the Icons Parody Pack,’ will contain four new multiplayer maps, a few sparkling new weapons and a few new multiplayer game modes.



Here’s a breakdown of the new content:

  • Freeze Tag mode – Players cooperate to freeze and shatter their opponents in succession for huge point streaks and combos.

  • Hot Potato mode – See who can hold on to the babe the longest

  • Hail to the King mode – Free-for-all Duke style

  • Call of Duke – Duke engages in modern combat in a war-torn city. Foes don’t stand a chance against the Duke when he spams the map with the N00b T00b.

  • Sandbox – Players take the role of mini-Duke in a giant sandbox with two bases at either end made out of children’s toys. This map features Sticky Bombs.

  • Inferno – Time machine engage! Duke does combat in a hellish landscape of lava and teleporters. Who turned on the 16-bit graphics, and more importantly, where did this DFG come from?

  • 2Forts1Bridge – Hats? Duke doesn’t need no stinking hats. Give him a minigun and he’ll beat off all comers.

    Obviously, ‘Hail to the Icons’ is having a bit of fun with a few of the games that were significantly more successful.

    All jokes aside, I have my fingers crossed that another Duke title is in the works. Duke Nukem 3D was a generational icon, and I’m hoping that Gearbox can figure out a way to salvage one of the most promising franchises in gaming.
