Gearbox transferred halo CE onto pc from xbox, now for the part you care about, they made borderlands, gwass.

 

Following Friday's big reveal that Gearbox Software is now finishing Duke Nukem Forever, the studio announced today it has purchased the full property rights of the Duke Nukem brand from its previous owner 3D Realms.

 

The deal includes Duke Nukem Forever and "all future projects."

 

"The Gearbox Software team and I are ecstatic that we have grown to a position to be able to pick up and carry the torch and help Duke rise back to glory in his time of need," Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford said. "Fans of the legendary hero and all the incredible talent that have ever helped him all deserve the very best support that we can bring.

 

"Please join me in supporting Duke in his triumphant return so that we may all enjoy the unique, one-in-million entertainment experience that only Duke Nukem can bring."

 

3D Realms co-founders Scott Miller and George Broussard offered their comments on the deal in a press release saying Gearbox was the perfect fit for Duke.

 

"Gearbox was handpicked as the new home for Duke Nukem because of their continued passion, commitment and long-time heritage with the brand and 3D Realms. Gearbox and Duke Nukem make for a devastating match made in video game heaven," said Miller.

 

"The gaming community's love and demand for the Duke Nukem brand never wavered and Gearbox will not disappoint them. As you have seen from titles such as Borderlands, Gearbox will bring the right level of addictively compelling gameplay, humor and high powered explosive action to the franchise. Duke Nukem is back and will be bigger than ever."

 

"Gearbox was the only home appropriate for the Duke Nukem brand," Broussard added. "They are very talented and possess the perfect perspective and understanding of the brand. Their vision for its future direction is exciting and unbelievable.

 

"I am personally cannot wait for fans to see their unique take on the franchise. This will be a win-win situation for everyone involved, especially the fans."

 

Duke Nukem Forever is currently set for release in 2011 for PlayStation 3, Xobx 360, and PC. Head over to our PAX 2010 hub page to read about our latest impressions of the game.
