New York - Video game publisher Take-Two Interactive (NASD: TTWO) has filed suit against developers 3D Realms and Apogee Software, for failure to deliver the long-awaited PC game "Duke Nukem Forever," Bloomberg reports.

3D Realms last week announced that it would shut down, and laid off all employees.

Take-Two reportedly paid $12 million for the rights to publish the game, which has been in development for over ten years.

"Apogee continually delayed the completion date for the Duke Nukem Forever," Take-Two alleges in the suit.

"Apogee repeatedly assured Take-Two and the videogaming community that it was diligently working toward competing development of the PC version of the Duke Nukem Forever."
