Duke Nukem Developer 3D Realms Shuts Down

by Nick Breckon and Chris Faylor May 06, 2009 6:22pm CST tags: Duke Nukem Forever

Duke Nukem Forever

4.5 Shacks

+ Library | + Wanted List

A very reliable source close to Duke Nukem Forever developer 3D Realms today confirmed to Shacknews that the company has been shut down.

The closure came about as a result of funding issues, our source explained, with the shut down said to affect both 3D Realms and the recently resurrected Apogee name. Employees of both companies have already been let go.

Phone calls and e-mails to various 3D Realms veterans have thus far gone unanswered, with publishing partner Take-Two likewise unavailable for comment.

3D Realms was founded in 1987 by Scott Miller and George Broussard. The company had infamously been working on Duke Nukem Forever over the past 13 years.

Thats... depressing. I didn't actually like the Duke Nukem games.... but it's always sad when a company goes down before it can release its games.
