Rumored: Duke Nukem Forever is still a thing that is coming out at some point
http://www.joystiq.com/2010/08/11/rumor-duke-nukem-forever-being-completed-by-gearbox/
Remember Duke Nukem? Of course you do - how could anyone forget the buffed-out, one-liner spewing orange tank top enthusiast who saved our planet from aliens, or something. That story always was pretty vague. Either way, any serious gamer knows what a running joke "Duke Nukem Forever" has become - mostly since it has been in development since 1997.
DNF resurfaces every now and then, usually with someone in the industry claiming how amazing it will be (when its done) or with a new, much later guess-timated release date. This time the news is a little different and actually slightly hopeful. As reported by Joystiq, Kotaku claims to have info from a source with "knowledge of the situation" that states that development of DNF is now in the hands of Gearbox Software, most famous for the incredibly fun "Borderlands."
Whether this is actually true remains to be seen - Joystiq stated that no one at Take-Two (who retains the rights to DNF), Gearbox or former head of development at 3D Realms George Broussard has been willing to confirm or deny the reports. If this turns out to be true and Gearbox can work their Borderlands magic on DNF, it may not be the biggest joke in the gaming industry too much longer.
