Can the Duke promise anything more than a flat-top and an attitude? We'll find out in late 2008. Maybe.

In a series of leaked emails between the Dallas Business Journal and 3D Realms' President Scott Miller, it has been confirmed that Duke Nukem Forever will have a late 2008 release date.

Yeah, I know. But giggling aside, this could be true - insider sources have been hinting at a 2008/2009 release for a while and a new trailer was released not long ago.

Speaking to the Dallas Business Journal, Miller was cagey about platforms.

"We haven't formally announced any platforms for DNF...But, of course hitting the big three makes the most sense (PC, PS3, 360)," said Scott.

Rumours of an Xbox Live Arcade port of the original Duke Nukem 3D are also looking strong and it has been confirmed that the port will feature online multiplayer, co-op and the usual array of leaderboards and achievements.

The Xbox Live Arcade port is expected sometime this year, but no release date specifically has been pinned down.

Does Duke still have the cojones to dominate the market or, when he does eventually arrive on the market will he find himself fresh out of bubblegum? Let us know what you think in the forums.
