14 DAY TRIAL // Duke Nukem Forever is set to receive its first piece of downloadable content later this year, with Gearbox Software, its developer, announcing the Hail to the Icons Parody Pack, which brings three new modes, four new maps and lots of overpowered weapons.
Duke Nukem Forever was finally released last month, after almost 14 years of expectations, with 2K Games, Gearbox Software and lots of other developers pitching in to get it onto the market.
While the final result was way below the actual expectations that gamers had after all these years, Gearbox is still keen on supporting the game's multiplayer mode with a new downloadable content pack.
The studio has just announced the Hail to the Icons Parody pack, which brings four new multiplayer maps, each with their own special weapons, that parody other, more famous video game franchises, three new multiplayer modes, and is set to arrive later this year.
Check out the full details, as revealed by Gearbox on its forums.
The Parody Pack includes: - Three All-New Modes – Freeze Tag provides some of the most fun team gameplay in Duke Nukem Forever. Players cooperate to freeze and shatter their opponents in succession for huge point streaks and combos. See who can hold on to the babe the longest in Hot Potato and play free-for-all Duke style in Hail to the King. Four new maps are present in the new DLC pack. - Call of Duke – Duke engages in modern combat in a war-torn city. Foes don’t stand a chance against the Duke when he spams the map with the N00b T00b. - Sandbox – Players take the role of mini-Duke in a giant sandbox with two bases at either end made out of children’s toys. This map features Sticky Bombs. - Inferno – Time machine engage! Duke does combat in a hellish landscape of lava and teleporters. Who turned on the 16-bit graphics, and more importantly, where did this DFG come from? - 2Forts1Bridge – Hats? Duke doesn’t need no stinking hats. Give him a minigun and he’ll beat off all comers. As you can see, the maps parody other shooter franchises like Call of Duty, Halo, Doom or Team Fortress 2, but all with traditional Duke style.
The Hail to the Icons Parody pack is going to arrive this Fall and will be free for members of the Duke Nukem First Access Club.
