Some called it a Christmas present from “leak gods.”ĭuke Nukem Forever, announced in 1997, was released in 2011 after multiple delays. The fans were largely overjoyed with the leak. It was reprogrammed by the independent Restoration Project to actually make it playable. So the existence of the 2D version of the game is quite intriguing and of great fascination for the series aficionados.Ī few players who tried to get it to work said that this could be a pretty early build of the 2D version of the game as it looks “ undone” and that “there are probably more 2D builds out there.” Earlier leaks from X0R, most notably the 2001 build of Duke Nukem Forever was unplayable.

The leaked 1996 build is to be in 2D but by the time Duke Nukem Forever was announced in 1997, the Duke Nukem series had already transitioned to 3D a year earlier. The files(34.08MB) were uploaded on the same link as two earlier leaks, confirming the involvement of XOR. It is said to be a 2D build of the game, similar to the early releases of the Duke Nukem series. The leaked build is claimed to be from 1996, a year before the game was announced to be in production. The 1996 build seems to be “undone” as some players found out after running the game.X0R came to light earlier this year when they leaked an unreleased 2001 build of Duke Nukem Forever in May.The build is said to be in 2D, unlike the final release of the game. The 4chan leaker, X0R, has leaked the 1996 build of Duke Nukem Forever.As posted on 4chan, it appears X0R has leaked an even earlier build of Duke Nukem Forever.
