Hell freezes over. Pigs fly. Doomsday averted. Duke Nukem Forever has gone gold. The game hits retailers June 10 internationally and North America June 14, as NA is now considered a planet unto its own.

"Duke Nukem Forever is the game that was once thought to be unshipppable, and yet here we are, on the precipice of history," said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. "Today marks an amazing day in the annals of gaming lore, the day where the legend of Duke Nukem Forever is finally complete and it takes that final step towards becoming a reality."

"Duke Nukem Forever and its journey to store shelves is legendary," said George Broussard, creative director at 3D Realms. "It's an epic tale of four game development studios that banded together and did the unthinkable and shipped the unshippable. When you play this game you will be reminded of that epic journey at every turn and in every small detail of the game. The character, attitude, interactivity, gameplay and political incorrectness combine to make a Duke Nukem game a unique gaming experience. In the timeless words of Duke Nukem it's finally time to 'Come Get Some'. Come be a part of gaming history."

"Always bet on Duke, I did," said Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software. "I bet on all of the developers who have ever been a part of this legendary project and I bet that none of us want to live in a world without the Duke. I've played the final game and it is an incredible experience - a once-in-a-lifetime opus of interactive entertainment that reminds me once again why Duke Nukem is our King. The developers of Duke Nukem Forever at 3D Realms, Triptych, Piranha and finally at Gearbox deserve our thanks and respect for never giving up and have truly shown us that they have balls of steel!"

Methinks Toilet has been hitting the beers early

Seriously tho, why the hell does the US get it 4 days later than everyone else?

Because the US always gets games on tuesday. Other countries have varying dates. And they said they wanted to bring it out as soon as possible (June 10th being the earliest SURE date)

Like that really applies to Steam and other digital distribution sites. Silly street dates and all that brick and mortar archaic nonsense.

Indeed. If the game has "gone gold" we could be playing it right now.

Ha ha you steam loving whiners! ... Though logic denotes that the demo may not be quite ready to launch across all networks and imagine the weeping and gnashing of teethe if even 1 group got excluded.

They should have renamed the game. After all, the whole "Forever" wagon needed to be left alone in a corner full of dust and spider webs.
