The world stood still, Friday 6pm in the UK, waiting for a stream to go live on air and for 2k Games to reveal...Duke Nukem Forever.

People attending PAX this weekend will get the opportunity to get hands on with the game before anyone else in the world, lucky people! (I've heard that this game has been in development for a while). They have yet to release any press assets for us to put up but will have all the details up on XG247 as soon as we can get them. Follow us on Twitter to make sure you catch everything! @XG247

The game is being developed by the guys are Gearbox Software who have been working on it behind the scenes for the past 3 years.

[UPDATED WITH QUOTES]

Randy Pitchford quoted:

"It has been a 'down in the basement development', It has been extremely hard to keep quiet about the game whilst our audience has been dieing to know, we have gone through loads of codenames internally"

Brian Martell quoted:

"My role on the game is to make sure that the game makes sure it is done" "We've worked with 3D realms in the past and have a strong relationship with them as well as 2K and It has been a wild ride bringing Duke Nukem Forever back from the dead, they saw that we had done well with Borderlands."

Adam Fletcher (Community Manger) quoted:

"It has been crazy, its been really hard to not let everyone know about it all, we wanted to tell our friends but we couldn't! So happy we can now talk about it and we're really stoked that people can get their hands on it at PAX". "We will be doing Multiplayer obviously but weren't announcing anything here at PAX" "Follow us on Twitter!".
