As this year's PAX convention is just about to start, photos from the Penny Arcade Expo show floor confirm that Duke Nukem Forever—now with more Gearbox Software—will have a strong presence at the show.

Publisher 2K Games is promising "something big" at this year's PAX get-together, which we can only assume is 3D Realms' long-promised but still undelivered over-the-top first person shooter Duke Nukem Forever, now that 2K and Gearbox have begun trotting out all manner of Duke Nukem signage and posters. The game's presence could be limited the opportunity to have your picture taken with Duke as a ****ty schoolgirl, but we've heard otherwise.

PAX 2010's kick-off is imminent. Stay tuned. And always bet on Duke.

Finally a good developer is working on it (gearbox). Im guessing 2K won that rights to further the development over 3D Realms.

I guess he finally ran out of gum.

2K Games has made it official. Duke Nukem Forever is alive and, well, in the hands of developer Gearbox Software, confirming our earlier reports that the Borderlands studio was helping to complete the game's absurdly long development cycle.

The publisher announced this morning in advance of PAX 2010 that Gearbox Software was on the job, picking up where developer 3D Realms left off. Gearbox plans to ship the game within the next year, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal—the WSJ says DNF is due "next year" and "currently expected to ship in 2010."

Given Duke Nukem Forever's epic development—it was first announced in 1997 as a sequel to Duke Nukem 3D—it might be wise to hedge on the later of those two release windows.

Gearbox and 2K will be showcasing the game to press and the public at this weekend's PAX convention.

After more than a decade in development, Duke Nukem Forever all but ended its production after the collapse of studio 3D Realms.

I bet in the next 6 months we will see more of the game then we have in the last 13 years...

Ugh, are they playing this on 360s? Oh well, I guess with 2K breathing down your neck about getting this out as soon as possible for the consoles so they can milk it for all its worth in DLCs, Duke Nukem Forever will finally see the light of day.
