Gearbox has revealed new downloadable content for Duke Nukem Forever, adding a new single-player campaign to the game along with a handful of multiplayer maps.-
I wonder if these were levels removed from the original game.
Word is, when Triptych sealed the deal with 3DR and Gearbox, the first thing they did was cut out half the game. One of the factors contributing to the game's inability to be completed was the length of the game and, reportedly, GeorgeB3DR's refusal to cut out anything (theory being: they worked all this time on it, shouldn't throw it away)-
I don't know... watch the original announcement trailer with gameplay and tell me where 80% of those sections are now.
That game changed a lot more than I think we'll ever know.-
I'd really like to see the portions that were cut (though, like you said, who knows if those were anywhere near completion).
That said, it will be interesting to see a brief glimpse into what Gearbox could have done with this IP from scratch.
What I really really want to see is some sort of "LameDuke" type release of the old, completely unfinished versions of the game. Namely, the Quake/Quake II engine version and whatever they had that powered the 2001 trailer.-

They are continuing the Duke Nukem franchise.

Triptych designed and produced the new single-player content. Portions of it were inspired by / based on some ideas that 3D Realms had in the past, but nothing was held back or cut from the main game to be used later. The entirety of The Doctor Who Cloned Me was created from scratch after work on Duke Nukem Forever was complete.
The new multiplayer maps were designed and produced by Piranha. -
ofcourse they are those levels ..

Looking forward to this, hope the new campaign is of decent length.
The DNF campaign was fun but it felt super short and cobbled together with a sudden ending to boot. Deffo seemed like half the game was cut. -
-
so its not really just single player dlc?
-
Correct. There's a new single-player campaign and four new multiplayer maps.
-
Here's the problem I have with writing this headline:
"Duke Nukem Forever DLC announced" would lead some to believe it's just multiplayer, since that has been released.
"Duke Nukem Forever single- and multiplayer DLC announced" is long and nightmarish.
I figured I'd highlight the more interesting component of the content... and if you read the story you see it includes more.
We all win. -
I tweaked the headline for y'all.

I will get it, sorry to disappoint.

Depends on 1 factor: Will it be 3DR's polished scrap, or something put together by gearbox? If it's the latter, I'll give it a shot.

DNF was absolutely horrendous. The marketing campaign was one of the biggest bullshit scams I've ever seen. Pitchford stared gamers in the eye and flat-out lied with a smile on his face. Gearbox should be handing out FREE DLC for a decade to make up for it.
