2K Games has announced that anyone who buys the Game of the Year edition of Borderlands will get free early access to the eventual Duke Nukem Forever demo.
Every copy of Borderlands: GOTY will contain a “certificate” which inducts customers to the “Duke Nukem Forever First Access Club.”
The Borderlands: GOTY edition is being released for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 next week Friday, 15 October 2010. It will retail locally for around R260, and will include the full game as well as download coupons for all the DLC that has been released to date. This includes The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx , and of course, Claptrap’s New Robot Revenge.
Sadly, 2K opted not to include the DLC on the disk, so you will have to enter the coupons and download the additional content from Steam, Xbox Live or PlayStation Network.
Members of the Duke Nukem Forever First Access Club will be able to download the Duke Nikem Forever demo before it becomes available to the general public.
Duke Nukem Forever was first announced nearly 13 years ago, but became lost in development purgatory in the years that followed. With the original developer 3D Realms eventually laying off the DNF team due to financial troubles, a complex legal wrangle ensued, and 2K Games ended up with the rights to the game, as well as 3D Realms’ unfinished code, which it then gave to Borderlands developer Gearbox to use to finish the game.
There is no release time frame available for the game just yet, although Amazon and Gamestop recently listed the game for a February 1st release date. Gearbox stated that this date is just a “placeholder.”
