Aaah, “casual” gaming. Gaming’s biggest buzzword of the latter part of this decade (which I still refuse to refer to as the “noughties”), it sums up everything from the Wii’s dominance of the party gaming market to the rise of plastic instrument based titles like Guitar Hero and Rock Band.

It’s no surprise then that pretty much everyone in the world of gaming has wanted in on the action, with vaporware kings 3D Realms apparently being the latest to jump on the bandwagon.

That’s right, in an interview with Gamesauce, 3D Realms CEO Scott Miller had this to say on the Duke’s future:

“The next few years should see a strong resurgence in Duke … There are numerous other Duke games in various stages of development, several due out this year. We are definitely looking to bring Duke into casual gaming spaces, plus there are other major Duke games in production.”

Of course, while we should always take Miller’s comments on the future of Duke Nukem with a whole grit truck full of salt, there’s always the glimmer of hope that maybe, one day, we’ll be taking the role of the Duke in something other than a crappy re-release of the now decidedly aged DN3D. Even if that’s in the form of Duke Duke Revolution or Duke Kart 64, that’s better than nothing.

… I guess?
