Recently 3D Realms and Interceptor have been in the gaming press owing to the dispute around the ownership of Duke Nukem rights, more specifically if they had the rights to make a new one without the approval of the people who owned the rights: Gearbox.




Now though they've announced a new game, which sounds very similar to their previously announced but so far unreleased Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction. It's an action, role-playing game, top down and takes place across many planets to save the President from an alien threat. The only difference? The Duke is nowhere to be seen.




The new game, titled Bombshell, stars a new female protagonist called Shelly ‘Bombshell’ Harrison who appears to be a cyborg and is introduced to us through the trailer linked below. It would appear that due to the lawsuit brought against 3DR and Interceptor by Gearbox, they've decided to take Mass Destruction and re-work it into the new game, which is still planned to be released on the same platforms of PC and PS4, although not until some time in 2015.















Interceptor and 3DR have promised that the game will contain “out-of-this-world enemies, a never-before-seen arsenal of devastating weaponry and a variety genre-crossing mechanics” and it can be guessed that the extra time will give them some time to tweak the graphics and sound to make them better than the Duke's postponed game could have. It can also be guessed that the drama that surrounded them owing to the question of who owned the Duke can only work for them as far as promoting the game goes.
