Interceptor Entertainment, makers of the Rise of Triad 2013 remake, now owns 3D Realms through their investment firm called SDN Invest. Interceptor CEO Frederik Schreiber announced<\/a> the purchase of 3D Realms and Apogee Software Ltd on March 2nd. (It should be noted that Interceptor does not own Apogee Software LLC which owns the rights to the original Rise of the Triad.) Mike Nielson, who already served as Chairman of the Board at Interceptor will be the new CEO of 3D Realms. The new roles for 3D Realms officers Scott Miller and George Broussard have not been disclosed at this time, but Nielson says the majority of actual game production will be done through Interceptor, while 3D Realms will maintain a publishing role.<\/p>\n

Besides the personnel and Duke Nukem legacy, Interceptor has also purchased some legal issues. Gearbox Software filed suit in February against 3D Realms because of Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction, a top-down shooter that was just shy of being officially announced via this teaser website<\/a> featuring the above image of Kick-Ass Bubblegum. The site offered to translate an “alien message” if the page got 10,000 likes on Facebook, but internet codebreakers managed to crack the substition cypher early revealing<\/a> that Interceptor was going to develop the game with 3D Realms’ license. Gearbox contends that 3D Realms had no such right to do so based on Gearbox’s ownership of the intellectual property. At this time, Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction is on hold pending the resolution of the complaint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
