Duke Nukem Forever gets launch trailer, free DLC for First Access Club
by Alice O'Connor, Jun 02, 2011 1:45pm PDTIf the supposed release of Duke Nukem Forever is all a massive prank, it certainly is a thorough one. Today has brought word that its first multiplayer downloadable content will be free to members of the First Access Club, while the launch trailer has, well, launched.
"Any First Access Club member who has registered as of today will receive the very first downloadable Duke Nukem Forever multiplayer add-on pack for free when it's released!" Gearbox explained today. There's no word on what exactly this will contain, but extra maps and character customisation options are likely candidates.
Developed by Gearbox and published by 2K, Duke Nukem launches for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on June 14 in North America. The European release will, unusually, come first, on June 10. A demo is due out tomorrow for First Access Club members, too.
Here's the launch trailer:
Rumor: Slant Six was working on Medal of Honor Vita game
Simpsons, King of the Hill writer joins Angry Birds film
Class of Heroes 2 coming to PSN on June 4
Shelter gameplay trailer is delightful, horrifying
Alan Wake Humble Bundle launches

I imagine most of the negative press never really hits the masses on something like DLC, but still. You could wait a few weeks or months to release the DLC that was already done and no one would know any different. And you'd get a nice bump in publicity by releasing new content.
