3D Realms working on new original title - Miller

Developer 3D Realms, best known as the studio behind the Duke Nukem franchise, is working on a new unannounced original game as well as the much-delayed Duke Nukem Forever, according to an Internet post from studio president Scott Miller.

"Although we're known for Duke, we also helped bring Max Payne to the market, and we're currently working on an unannounced original game," Miller said in a post on his personal weblog, during a discussion on creative freedom at independent studios.

Although Max Payne was developed by Remedy Entertainment, 3D Realms was closely involved with the development process on the title. It's not clear whether the new game referred to by Miller is being worked on in-house at 3D Realms, or if it is a similar deal where the firm will be working closely with a third-party studio.

Until now, 3D Realms' only known project was Duke Nukem Forever, the massively delayed follow-up to popular PC first person shooter Duke Nukem 3D, which has been in development for over seven years - switching game engines on a number of occasions.
