It´s funny how deja vu works sometimes, because just the other day I answered a reader of ours comments about old-school FPS games. And one of the games that he mentioned was “Duke Nukem 3D”. And that gave me a really nice retro flashback, as Duke 3D just happens to be one of my favorite FPS games of all time. So I almost immediately started to think about the possibilities of a remake or a remaster edition of the game. Well, guess what? It seems like Nerve Software (Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil, COD Advanced Warfare, COD: Black Ops III) is said to be working on remix/remaster edition of “Dukem Nukem 3D”, and the game is called “Duke Nukem: World Tour“:
“Somebody just recently leaked to me details on the new Duke Nukem title being teased on www.dukenukem.com . It is called Duke Nukem 3D: World Tour, and it is being developed by Nerve Software. The leaker sent me screenshots, which I have included below.
According to the leak, when talking about the screenshots:
These are official. This is a Duke 3D remaster. In many ways, you can look at this game as a Duke Nukem 3D remix as there will be a lot of new/original content added in as well. From my understanding, these screens are just a handful out of a bunch of press shots that will be coming out in the following days.
They also said that there will be both Co-Op as well as deathmatch online although they are not 100% sure on it.
They also included a handful of official screenshots, including an image of the logo.” – Tezla55, via Reddit
And as excited as I am, all of this is unverified information for now. And as you might already know, Duke Nukem 3D´s 20th anniversary is coming up very soon (January 29, 1996). So I couldn´t help to notice that there is now a count down timer on the dukenukem.com´s homepage. And by the looks of it, something cool (hopefully) will happen in six days and 15 hours henceforth (maybe the official unwrapping of “Duke Nukem 3D: World Tour”?). Well, time will tell. Nevertheless, I got really pumped up when I saw some pictures for “Duke Nukem 3D: World Tour”. So I truly hope that “Duke 3D: World Tour” is in the making, and that we soon will get a chance to play the game.
