The “Break it Down” Blog

After a list of achievements for the Xbox Live version of Duke Nukem 3D appeared on Achieve360Points.com, 3D realms has confirmed that the port of Duke Nukem 3D is indeed finished and has already passed final certification with Microsoft last Friday.

3D realms went on to state that is now in the hands of Microsoft, so they couldn’t provide any information on it’s release date or how many points it will cost. If we had to guess, we’d safely assume that it’ll be either 800 or 1200 Microsoft points, which is the standard for most games.

Thankfully the achievements were able to confirm a few things, namely that the game will feature online cooperative play and online ‘dukematch’ games. The full list can be seen below, please note the very awesome achievements for tipping strippers and stepping in a pile of excrement.
