Devil May Cry 5 certainly leaves an impression. What felt like a franchise unable to come back from the brink, now feels like one with a future.

Gearbox Looking To Partner With Another Developer For More Duke Nukem
Duke Nukem Forever was a bit of a mess. The game was in production for 10 years with 3D Realms before Gearbox Software picked up the rights to the IP and put the game out to large scale derision.
That doesn't mean the franchise is dead though according to Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford, who was talking at Develop 2015. As Eurogamer reported, Pitchford says that his studio is even open to collaboration:
I did not acquire the franchise merely so people could experience Duke Nukem Forever. That was, sort of, the toll to pay to give Duke Nukem a chance at a future.
The challenge is that Gearbox is very busy. A faster way would be if the correct developer would become interested and we'd work with them.
I think the question of what Duke Nukem looks like in 2015 and beyond is a peculiar one. I can't quite get my head around it. However, if a developer really has a passion for the franchise and a unique spin, I say let them have at it.
