In 2010 it was announced that Interceptor Entertainment was working on a remake of Duke Nukem 3D, the classic game of shooting, booting, and polluting children’s minds. What had begun as a fan project to bring into the then-modern Unreal Engine 3 was given Gearbox’s blessing and renamed from Duke Nukem: Next Gen to Duke Nukem 3D: Reloaded.
A year later, the Duke remake was put «on hold». The project’s lead, Frederik Schreiber, wrote in a blog post (opens in new tab) that Gearbox’s product manager and legal counsel had told him the remake was «getting too much attention from the press and the fans» and that «We were required to pull all media related to Reloaded, from our website and Facebook. We were also told, not to talk about it anymore.»
At the time, Duke Nukem Forever had been released to what could generously be called a mixed reception.
