'Duke Nukem Forever' Demo Launching June 3

Duke Nukem Forever, six-time winner of Wired magazine's "Vaporware Award," is on track to hit stores in the U.S. on June 14 and internationally on June 19.

"That is the REAL date. This one is FOR REAL," proclaimed Andy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software, the publisher of DNF, in a "special message" on Tuesday. "It's going to happen!"

Pitchford also announced a demo video arriving on June 3, but only to members of the First Access Club, which requires pre-ordering the game at official U.S. retailers GameStop or Amazon.

Both retailers offer the game for $59.99 for the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 and $49.99 for the PC version. GameStop's pre-order package includes an in-game EGO boost, Big Head mode, and T-shirt pack. Amazon's offer includes three free MP3 music downloads.

A list of official retailers in your country is available on dukenukemforever.com.
