Here is a testament to the power of the fans. Duke Nukem 3D, in all it's glory, is a classic. And by classic, I mean it's old as sin, and as ugly as Rosemary's baby. So Frederik Schreiber (aka Fresch), a dedicated fan, decided to pretty much reskin the whole Duke 3D world and make it run on the Unreal 3 engine, just for fun.
Well, people were impressed by Fresch's work. So impressed that he had no problem contacting the people at 3D Realms, Duke 3D's old home, and Gearbox Software, Duke Nukem Forever's new home. He got the blessing of the head honchos at both studios and just like that, we'll be getting a Duke Nukem 3D remake very soon.
Fresch says a multiplayer demo will be on the way sooner than we think. If you're as excited as I am, keep it locked for updates on the coming demo. And make sure you check out the Gearbox Forums for up to date progress reports on how the game is coming along.
