2K Games and Gearbox have finally officially unveiled what has been teased for months: Gearbox is going to be finishing Duke Nukem Forever! I’ll let the press release do the talking, but this is going to be a long news post anyway…

“Hail to the king, baby! It’s unbelievable, it kicks ass and it’s totally going to happen!” said Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software, “Gearbox has enabled die-hard key Duke Nukem franchise builders and skilled veteran game makers to stand together and deliver. All gamers deserve a happy ending and after all of us gamers feeling the full range of emotions about Duke Nukem Forever, I am thrilled to be in a position with the trust, power and means to make it happen. Am I crazy? Balls of steel, baby, balls of steel!”

Duke has a booth with a *gasp* playable version of the game *gasp* at PAX. As you can see in the pictures, you can even take your picture as a woman if you feel like being the woman in that relationship. Congrats?

Also, here are a couple of live-streaming videos from lucky children who are playing the game already. Lucky!
