First Duke Nukem Forever DLC to Release This Fall July 26, 2011

Gearbox Software has officially announced in a twitter post that the first DLC pack for Duke Nukem Forever will release this fall.  The DLC will add four new multiplayer maps, three new multiplayer modes, and a new weapon unique to each map ranging from sticky grenades to the DFG (which might be a parody of the BFG, the Big…uh…freakin’…gun).  New game modes involve a new twist on Hot Potato, which the objective will be to see who can hold onto a babe for the longest, and a new mode called Hail to the King.

Duke Nukem Forever’s multiplayer was not considered one of the major highlights of the game upon release.  There were only a few maps at release, and gameplay was quite unbalanced.  This DLC pack looks to be the answer to that.  From the looks of it, this map pack is intended to be a parody of other multiplayer gametypes ranging from Doom to Call of Duty.

As promised, this DLC will be free to all First Access Club members.  The Duke Nukem Forever Hail to the Icons DLC pack is coming this fall for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.  Details about a chance to play the DLC pack early are included in the link.
