Hail to the Duke Nukem Forever DLC next week
Want more Duke Nukem Forever? We're not judging, and neither is Gearbox, who will offer the "Hail to the Icons" Parody Pack next week -- October 11, to be specific. The DLC adds three new multiplayer modes: Freeze Tag, Hail to the King, and Hot Potato ("See who can hold on to the babe the longest," the description reads, testing our ability to withhold judgement). It also offers four new maps, parodying popular FPS games. If you're in the "First Access Club," this is all free. If you're in the much less exclusive club of "everyone else," it's $10 or 800 Microsoft Points, plus the cost of bubblegum.
Duke Nukem Forever getting fanciful hats (and new multiplayer modes/maps) this fall
We may not have liked Duke Nukem when we last hung out back in early June, but hey, now he's got a variety of thoroughly enjoyable hats -- we're easily swayed! And he'll be showing off that variety of hats in a handful of new Duke Nukem Forever multiplayer maps and modes this fall, in the "Hail to the Icons" Parody Pack. As its name implies, the DLC parodies several games, which we'll allow you to decipher for yourself in the descriptions after the break (take a wild guess at which game those hats are poking fun at). Gearbox and 2K have yet to name a price or firm release date for the content, only giving it a "fall" window. But if you're really into checking the new stuff out as soon as you can, 2K Games is also holding a multiplayer event at its Novato, CA offices in early August -- the main site has details on how to get involved. And finally, we'd be remiss if we didn't remind you that if you joined the developer's "First Access Club" before DNF dropped back in June, the pack will be free when it eventually launches. We believe Duke would say, "Hell yeah." (But you know, it'd be all gravelly, because that's how he speaks.)%Gallery-129221%
