Major Upcoming 3DRealms Announcements?

In an interview with Gamasutra, 3DRealms new creative director Raphael Van Lierop said, “I can say that we have a big announcement coming in the next four weeks.” The former Company of Heroes producer went on to confirm that the announcement is not related to Duke Nukem Forever.

He also mentioned that there is a potential second non-Duke announcement that could come later this year, saying, “…I’m not sure, but I believe we have another major announcement coming in the next four to six months… while I can’t say exactly what these are, are they about Duke Nukem Forever? No.”

On the subject of Duke Nukem Forever, Van Lierop said, “I’ve seen it. I’ve played it. And I really believe that when it does come out people won’t be disappointed.”

While I’m stoked about a new 3DRealms announcement (Three cheers for Max Payne 3!!), I’m also at the point where I could care less about DNF. If Van Lierop thinks that gamers won’t be disappointed by it, he’s on something good. It’s just gotten too many years of hype to live up to. Oh well, we’ll bring you news of the 3DRealms announcement as soon as it hits.
