Duke Begins to Mark a Reboot for Duke Nukem - Report

Duke Nukem Forever may have been an absolute mess in the minds of many, but that doesn't mean it'll be the last we see of the series. Gearbox reportedly has plans to reboot the franchise by reviving a project it was working on before it got its hands on Forever.

Duke Begins is the name of a game Gearbox was developing several years ago, as revealed in court documents at the time. It was planned for release in 2010 but ended up being canceled, a move that further fueled a legal dispute between Take-Two and 3D Realms. The matter was resolved out of court and Gearbox came to own the franchise. As was rumored, it worked to finish the very-long-in-development Duke Nukem Forever and brought it out this past June to less than pleasant reviews.

Like it or not, Take-Two says the game will be profitable, which apparently is enough reason to commission more Duke Nukem. According to CVG, the October issue of the Official Xbox Magazine has word on a tasty rumor: Gearbox will reboot Duke Nukem in the form of "the long-discussed Duke Begins." This won't happen until one of its current projects, Aliens: Colonial Marines, is finished.
