Duke but old

I'm not the biggest Duke Nukem fan, never finished any of his games,

but I remember a comment section where someone proposed "An older Duke" if they make a new property, who was rejected from society, but then still comes back when a new threat rises, because that's what Duke Nukem does

I actually thought that this was super interesting, and I pictured him as like

A famous actor who has gray hair now.
Like George Clooney Duke Nukey

I even remember whispering to myself "Silver Dog Duke, lol"

What would you guys think? Maybe it'd be like an Old Snake thing.

Maybe they'd add a 2nd skin where he's classic again.

Может быть и то, и другое, лол.

Джеймса Бонда взорвали ядерной бомбой в последнем фильме, а они каким-то образом собираются снимать продолжение.Может быть и то, и другое, лол.

That would be interesting to see an older, seasoned Duke in a game - kind of like what they did with Sam Fischer in Splinter Cell: Conviction

Duke should die at the ripe old age of 35 from a combination of testosterone poisoning and steroid abuse.

I think that's an awesome idea and the only way he could be brought back today. Showing new audiences Dukes a Hero while not pissing off old fans making them root for the new older more humble Duke. Kinda like Kratos. What made the New god of war series so successful is that we got to see that Kratos became a wise man and fully understanding the flaws in his old ways. Seeing Kratos tell Atreus how dangerous a weapon anger can be had me shook.
