It seems even after being cancelled after a development time of 12 years, not to mention several court battles, Duke Nukem just won’t stay down.

According to Duke Nukem’s voice actor Jon St. John, there may be a future still for Duke Nukem Forever. While absolutely nothing was stated spesifically, but the voice actor implied his silence was evidence enough.

“Let me go ahead and tell you right now that I’m not allowed to talk about Duke Nukem Forever,” St. John said when asked about it during a panel at the Music and Games Festival in Virgina last weekend, as reported by Pixel Enemy.

When moans of disappointment spread throughout the crowd St. John told the audience to “read between the lines,” following it up with a simple: “why am I not allowed to talk about it?”

It seems you can’t keep a true hardass down, but all this talk of Duke Nukem Forever is getting ridiculous. It’s done, he’s dead and the game will absolutely fail to live up to the hype. There, I said it.
