Duke Nukem will return in Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour, Gearbox has just announced. It’s a new version of Duke 3D, with a toggle that will let you switch between the original “2.5D” graphics engine, and Gearbox’s “all-new True3D Rendering mode”.
Duke Nukem 3D, is an FPS from 1996 best known for having a squillion environmental bits to interact with and starring a wisecracking ’80s action movie hero who’s mighty teed off that aliens have come to Earth to cause mischief and abduct our busty babes, funny right?
Commentary by the original dev team can be accessed in-game, and you’ll have the option to toggle between the 1996 graphics engine and the “high fidelity and blistering frame rate using Gearbox’s all-new ‘True3D Rendering’ mode.”
Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary Edition World Tour is slated for release on October 11 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
Check out the Trailer:
“Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour is due out on October 11th, priced at £14.99/19,99€/$19.99. Duke Nukem 3D’s Atomic Edition, which contains the original game plus its first expansion, cost $5.99 on digital stores until it was pulled from sale. The Megaton Edition, which included more expansions plus a 3D makeover, was $9.99 before it too was pulled. The World Tour’s new content cost money to make, absolutely, but it’d be a shame if Gearbox didn’t eventually return Regular Plain Old Duke 3D to stores too. Recontextualising and expanding are fine but preservation’s important too.”
