Duke Nukem Forever has finished development, it has been announced.

Publisher 2K Games confirmed that the first-person shooter, which was first conceived over 13 years ago, is complete and will be on sale next month.

"Duke Nukem Forever is the game that was once thought to be unshippable, and yet here we are, on the precipice of history," said 2K president Christoph Hartmann.

"Today marks an amazing day in the annals of gaming lore, the day where the legend of Duke Nukem Forever is finally complete and it takes that final step towards becoming a reality."

3D Realms creative director George Broussard added: "Duke Nukem Forever and its journey to store shelves is legendary. It's an epic tale of four game development studios that banded together and did the unthinkable and shipped the unshippable.

"When you play this game you will be reminded of that epic journey at every turn and in every small detail of the game. The character, attitude, interactivity, gameplay and political incorrectness combine to make a Duke Nukem game a unique gaming experience."

First announced by 3D Realms in 1997, the title was cancelled in 2009 before 2K Games and Gearbox Software rescued it last year.

The studio recently revealed that the game, which was originally scheduled for May, would be delayed by one month.

Duke Nukem Forever will be available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on June 10 in Europe and June 14 in North America.
