Duke Nukem 3D: Reloaded project has been delayed indefinitely with the project's future in doubt after a rumor of a rift between Interceptor Entertainment and Gearbox occurred during a recent meeting.
The main issue appears to have occurred during a meeting at Gearbox where representatives for the series felt the work done was turning the game to a completely different direction than what the company had planned for the series. They did praise how good the work towards the project was but also noticed the game started to drift away from a remake and potentially into a completely non-Duke related game.
Interceptor Entertainment did state the decision wasn't related to Gearbox's own upcoming Duke Nukem project but the terms of the official license does give Gearbox the ability to decide what can and can't be done with the property.

"This has nothing to do with Gearbox Software's rumored new game (At least not what we know of). We have chosen to put the project on hold, as our license doesn't allow us to release the game, or show media from it. What drives us, is our fans - And without being able to share what we have been working on for so long, we have decided to put the project on hold, until Gearbox Software makes a decision."
