Today, on the Gearbox Forums, the system requirements for Duke Nukem Forever were announced. The game will hit store shelves June 14 after a very long and infamous development process. For those who are unaware, the title was originally revealed in April 1997, and has jumped from three developers and four publishers in its 14 years of development.
The current requirements are likely quite different than what 3D Realms would have asked of your PC back in the late 90s, but you can find them after the break.
