Duke Nukem 3D: Reloaded was a fan-developed remake of Duke Nukem 3D with Gearbox's approval. It was confirmed to have been put on hold indefinitely (read: silently cancelled) on September 24, 2011, as Gearbox feared that a Duke game that looked better than their own would be financially unwise.

Leaker group x0r_jmp would release a build of the game in January 2023.

To do: A fair bit: Is General Graves and the Pigcop at all playable in multiplayer?. The Pigcop does have a couple of animations. There seems to be a fair bit of Unreal Tournament 3 and Unreal Engine development stuff in the files. Some of them might be common development stuff not worth documenting, so check before adding them here. A full playlist of the build's maps can be found here. Where are the maps located precisely and what are their file extensions? The game has a bunch of EULAs located in the InstallData folder, are they used? Maybe provide some instructions on how to get the build running in a Notes page, not immediately obvious to someone that downloads the build.
