Duke Nukem creator 3D Realms, otherwise known as Apogee Software, is now the property of Interceptor Entertainment, the developer behind Duke Nukem: Manhattan.
Interceptor CEO Frederik Schreiber confirmed the news on Twitter.
“We will be giving an official statement tomorrow,” the executive said, so expect an update during the Europe and US business hours overlap.
Schrieber’s comment followed a statement from Mike Nielsen in an interview with Danish newspaper Børsen, in which the Interceptor partner is listed as Apogee Software and 3D Realms’ new CEO.
“With this acquisition, we aim to strengthen 3D Realms and protect the legend that it is. The brand itself is very valuable, and we want to ensure the survival and return to the level at which it is renowned,” he said.
