It has not been canceled, and it's still in development. I'm guessing it will come out in 09 or 10.

its taken 10 years to make, they keep starting over. last year they released the first screenshot of it, and on the forums they had a lot of threads that made it look like it was almost done. then some one offered them a whole lot of money to get it out by xmas 2006, but they said no, they don't want to rush it. and thats the last bit of news, no info at e3 this year either on it.

BestBuy.com is taking preorders for it for a 12/1/07 release. Different sites have offered preorders in the past, but Best Buy usually doesn't post preorders unless they're resonably sure a game's really coming out. But I'll believe it when I actually see the game on the shelves...

Its still in development. PCGamer have seen it. And another newsstand magazine (Game Informer) released a screenshot (blurry one) in their June '07 edition. I suggest visiting the official forums.

It's still in development. I think they changed the engine again and now they're using Unreal Engine 4.

Duke Nukem is the best game ever... maybe because it never got released or cancelled, so all the hype will never be lost.

Im starting to think it was a joke to begin with.

First, there is the name....DN: FOREVER! Maybe its gonna take forever to make?

Then there is the fact that 3D Realms has had their hand in quite a few games in the past few years iirc that they wouldnt even wasting money on DNF, even if it would sell 500k+ copies.

The 3d Realms guy's are still working on it. It's been placed on a back bruner several times but the engine was only changed once. There is NO news on when it will be released or how far along they are with it. It may be another 10 years before they get around to it. It not vaporware because it's a real work in progress. It's simply not ready yet. Any source (outside of 3d Realms) that says they are going to release it or it's almost ready is either wrong or lying. Any store taking pre-orders is simply looking to collect cash. 3d Realms will not release info on it a few days before a relase. They will start a campaign like any other company many months or even a year before a relase is due. Since that hasnt happened yet, you can safly assume that the game is nowhere near ready. Here isthe officailforum link to DNF-4 that tell you every thing you need to know about the game so far.

Vaporware is a software or hardware product which is announced by a developer well in advance of release, but which then fails to emerge, either with or without a protracted development cycle.Wikipedia

It's vaporware dude. That's not to say it will never come out, or that people aren't working on it, but it definitely falls in the catagory of vaporware.

What gamespot says about PC Duke Nukem Forever :D

The king is back, baby! Duke Nukem Forever will meld 3D Realms' memorable hero with the latest 3D graphics technology.

I hope that convinces you that you will never see it.
