Duke Nukem Forever Gets May Release Date

Pinning down an exact release date for us this afternoon, 2K Games and Gearbox Software have announced that their long-awaited first person shooter, Duke Nukem Forever, will begin shipping to stores in North America on May 3rd and everywhere else on May 6th. As you'd expect, Gearbox President Randy Pitchford is really excited to get the game in your hands:

“When I said goodbye to 3D Realms and the original Duke Nukem 3D team in 1997 and soon after founded Gearbox Software, I never in my wildest dreams imagined that a day like today would come,” said Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software. "Today I am proud, humbled and even astounded to announce that the day is coming at last for all gamers to be a part of video game history: Duke Nukem Forever will launch worldwide this May!”

And to celebrate this news, the developers have released a new trailer. Enjoy:
