News in recent weeks has been broken that we will finally be getting to see the Duke Nukem series re-booted sometime in 2011 after many twists and turns. It’s been a long 13 years since we last saw a Duke Nukem game released, and for many young gamers the name Duke Nukem maybe new to them.
Therefore I thought a trip down memory lane was in order. I would like to welcome you to a Brief History of Duke Nukem.

Have you ever looked at a modern first-person shooter and wondered "How did we get here?" Wealth of Geeks performs a deep dive into the genre, including some of the most influential games, from the very first FPS from the cross-genre experiences that changed the game entirely.
3D Realms and Slipgate Ironworks have suffered from a second round of layoffs following one that hit both companies in the middle of December.
The only news coming from Embracer is canceled games, closed studios and layoffs. That’s what happen when you accumulate to many studios at once. There’s another company that will be doing the same thing here over the next handful of years especially if daddy’s money doesn’t bail them out.
They're not crumbling specifically because they acquired so many studios. It's because they built everything up based on a $2B investment and didn't have any plan in place to pivot if the deal fell through, which it did. They were reckless and stupid.
More layoffs at Embracer Group, as the publisher as reportedly fired half of 3D Realms and Slipgate Ironworks.
Hope that the ones fire are the Decision makers in Slipgate Ironworks and those responsible for greenlighting those decisions over at 3D Realms. Cuz they are mediocre at what they do...
Lol!! What am I even saying? Their just gonna fire all the people actually working hard on the games instead. Oopsie! My bad.
Monopoly and Consolidation of the game industry is Nooice!!!
Me and most of my concept art buddies got laid off as well a few days back –different daughter company though. Such a wonderful start of this magical month 🤣
