2K Games and Gearbox Software announced today that the Hail to the Icons Parody Pack*, the first add-on content for Duke Nukem Forever®, is now available for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC. This downloadable package contains three new multiplayer modes, four all-new multiplayer maps that parody some of gaming’s iconic battlegrounds and four new weapons - all for just $9.99 or 800 Microsoft points. Those who were awesome enough to pledge allegiance to the King and gain access to the Duke Nukem Forever First Access Club prior to launch can download the package for free. This great value is also being extended to the standalone product, which is now available for $29.99.


Hail to the Icons Parody Pack includes:

* Three All-New Modes – Freeze Tag provides some of the best team gameplay in Duke Nukem Forever. Players cooperate to freeze and shatter their opponents in succession for huge point streaks and combos. See who can hold on to the babe the longest in Hot Potato, and play free-for-all Duke-style in Hail to the King.

* Call of Duke – Duke engages in modern combat in a war-torn city. Foes don’t stand a chance against Duke when he spams the map with the N00b T00b.

* Sandbox – Players take the role of mini-Duke in a giant sandbox with two bases at either end made out of children’s toys. This map features Sticky Bombs.

* Inferno – Time machine engage! Duke does combat in a hellish landscape of lava and teleporters. Who turned on the 16-bit graphics, and more importantly, where did this DFG come from?

* 2Forts1Bridge – Hats? Duke loves hats. Give him a mini-gun and take down all comers.



Duke Nukem Forever is now available for $29.99 on all platforms. Apologizing to no one, and starring the legendary lady killer and alien slayer, Duke Nukem Forever brings gamers to a blastastic time when games were filled with head-popping, bone-rattling action, brazenly crude humor, and catchy one-liners.
