Instead, the world received what Gearbox Software had polished up since acquiring the IP in 2010. Some may even lament that this leaked version of Duke Nukem Forever was not the game that was released in 2011. A series of videos on the download page demonstrate that it still has the action and slick dialogue of the muscular hero that made the previous entries such hits. Images show a somewhat darker take on the 1996 Duke Nukem 3D follow-up. While the final release went on to become the game that derailed the beloved Duke Nukem franchise, this 21-year-old build will no doubt be intriguing for many.

According to a report from DSO Gaming, it wasn't supposed to see the light of day until next month, but perhaps the attention it was receiving motivated the leakers to release it early.
But for those interested, a build of the game from all the way back in 2001 has leaked and can now be downloaded. The latest entry in the Duke Nukemseries came out in 2011 and was considered a flop, largely because the game spent so long in development that its themes aged, and it couldn't live up to all the changes that it had gone through. Then there was Duke Nukem Forever, which stopped the franchise dead in its tracks, but a very early build of the game has now become public.
Sitting up there with the likes of Quake and Doom, this entry into the antics of the titular Duke is considered one of the best FPS games of its era, with its high-octane action, adult themes, and satire on uber-masculine Hollywood. There was a time when 3D Realms/Apogee was part of an early movement in gaming that helped usher in the first-person genre, most notably with the 1996 release of Duke Nukem 3D.
