Will be defined "When it's done".
Search Google for the "missed release dates" + "Duke Nukem Forever", and you'll get a rather funny list of serious statements from the developers. Now they just say, "There is no (release) date."

Never. Did not originate as Cockney rhyming slang as is popularly supposed, instead St. John's Book of Revelations, Nostradamus' Centuries and Somethingawful mention the release date in reference to the End of Days.

4.
Monstrously-delayed sequel to the popular FPS Duke Nukem 3D. There have been many other Duke adventures in between, developed by third-parties under license, including:
Duke Nukem: Time To Kill
Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes
Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project
Duke Nukem: Zero Hour
Some good, some bad. However many gamers want the official merchandise from 3D Realms themselves, and 3DR are simply not delivering. They haven't even released a single screenshot or anything about the game since they started over on the project several years ago. One wonders what on Earth is going on at 3DR at the moment.
"When it's done"
Roll on 8 years!
