The thing is, Duke Nukem is still a highly recognized brand name.

I don’t think have the bandwidth to work on a Duke sequel. They have their hands full with Homeworld, Borderlands, Battleborn and I believe they still own the Brothers in Arms series. I think Gearbox will sell the IP back to 3D Realms/Interceptor at some point. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said that publishing Duke Nukem was “a misguided decision on my part.” Gearbox is clearly a studio Take Two trust and love to work with but bringing Duke back is a huge risk for a publisher.

I can’t see Duke coming back for a while. He’s hanging out at Gearbox, minding his own business.
