The build of dukenukemforever that was shown during E3 2001 has finally leaked online, showing fans the developers' original vision for the game.
One of the most sought-after pieces of lost media in gaming has been discovered, as the E3 2001 build of Duke Nukem Forever has leaked online. Much like the Nintendo Gigaleak from 2020, the Duke Nukem Forever leak offers a tantalizing glimpse at what could have been, especially following the disappointment of the retail version of the game from 2011.
Duke Nukem Forever had one of the most tumultuous development periods in the history of video games. Work on Duke Nukem Forever started in 1996, and it was announced the following year as a game that would use the Quake 2 engine. This would be one of several engine shifts for the game, as it would move on to Unreal Engine, leading to a build of the game that was shown to fans at E3 2001. The E3 trailer was incredible for the time and expectations for the full release were sky-high.
According to the leaker, almost the entire game is present and a lot of it is playable, including the E3 2001 content. Most of the weapons are functional, except for the chainsaw and the freezer. The character of Bombshell who starred in Ion Fury, Duke Nukem-style shooter from 2019 was meant to debut in this game as Duke's sidekick, but her model was deleted at this point in development. The leak includes the full source code, potentially allowing fans to finish the work of the developer.
The reception to Duke Nukem Forever was so poor that it killed interest in the series, outside of the occasional port of the older games to modern systems. It's amazing to see new footage from the version of the game that made so many people excited back in the early 2000s and to dream of what could have been if this version had launched before Half-Life 2.
