The Duke is back – at least that’s what 3D Realms tells us via the newly launched website announcing the long (really, really long) awaited comeback of Duke Nukem, the meanest and best one liner game hero in the universe. Even more, for a lucky Duke Nukem Forever fan which happens to look like the Duke himself, we’ve got even better news: you could be traveling the world as Duke!

That’s right! Via the above-mentioned website, Deep Silver and Apogee Software are searching for the real life Duke Nukem. Here’s the official word, if you still find it hard to believe this:

“We want you to come out and audition to be the next Duke Nukem. The winner will get to travel around the world representing Deep Silver as the new official Duke Nukem and get paid to do it. They will be the new face of the franchise and get to interact with the world like no other iconic video game character ever has. “

Who knows, maybe you’ll even meet Lara Croft – we do know that there are some pretty sexy images featuring the Duke and Mrs Croft… but until then, good luck! Just keep your fingers crossed and make sure Bruce Willis doesn’t come for the audition. Last time we checked, the two looked incredibly alike.
