Bombshell was a fan-favorite character from the 1998 E3 trailer who was originally planned to appear as Duke Nukem's sidekick, but she was later scrapped from the project, only to appear much later as the main protagonist in two games of her own: Bombshell (2016) and Ion Fury (2019). Notably, the 2001 prototype only mentions but does not actually feature Bombshell. (AMD optimizer required only for specific AMD processors to run the game correctly, but installs for all of them.Duke Nukem Forever 2001 is significantly more developed and closer to the final 2011 release than the 1996 Duke Nukem Forever side-scroller - which is not even a direct antecessor of this prototype - or the 1998 build shown in an E3 trailer from that year.
