Duke Nukem Forever (2001) is a singleplayer and multiplayer first-person action and FPS game in the Duke Nukem series.
Duke Nukem Forever 2001 is the title commonly used to refer to the leaked 2001 prototype of Duke Nukem Forever (2011). Screenshots and video footage from the prototype were leaked by x0r_jmp on May 9, 2022, and the actual development files were leaked the following day. Current and former representatives from Gearbox Software and 3D Realms have provided commentary on the contents of the leak, but to date, no one has publicly objected — through legal action or other means — to online distribution of the files, which remain widely available to download. It was significantly more developed and closer to the final 2011 release than the 1996 Duke Nukem Forever side-scroller — which is not even a direct antecessor of this prototype — or the 1998 build shown in an E3 trailer from that year. Notably, the 2001 prototype only mentions but does not actually feature Bombshell. Bombshell was a fan-favorite character from the 1998 E3 trailer who was originally planned to appear as Duke Nukem's sidekick, but she was later scrapped from the project, only to appear much later as the main protagonist in two games of her own: Bombshell (2016) and Ion Fury (2019).
They state Duke Nukem Forever as engine in game files and in interviews they use the term "Duke Engine", but it's closer in file structure to Unreal Engine 1 games with many issues either absorbed from later iterations of the engine or entirely unique.[1][2]
