Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour Listing For Switch Surfaces On ESRB

Discussion surrounding the Duke Nukem series for the past few years has been radio silence following the under whelming release of the decade-long wait for Duke Nukem Forever back in 2011. That was until this year that Gearbox revealed that the character would be returning through the Bulletstorm port for Nintendo Switch.

However, more on the series has surfaced as a new listing for Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour appeared on the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) this week. Here is a synopsis from the description provided by the rating board:

This is a first-person shooter in which players assume the role of Duke Nukem on a mission to save Earth from an alien invasion. Players use pistols, machine guns, rocket launchers, and shrink rays to kill aliens and mutant enemies in frenetic combat. Firefights are accompanied by realistic gunfire, large explosions, and blood-splatter effects. Enemies occasionally break apart into bloody fragments as they are killed.

The 20th Anniversary World Tour is a re-release of the original 1996 title for current hardware (Xbox One, PlayStation 4) in celebration of the game reaching two decades since initially releasing. The project was developed by the original team and debuted fresh additions like new music from composer Lee Jackson, new phrases For Duke recorded by original voice actor John St. John, and a new fifth episode to the game’s campaign.

On when the game is expected to release for the Nintendo eShop, that is left to be unknown until properly announce by the developer or publisher at a later date.
