Three official themed level packs made by 3rd party developers were released for the game; '''Caribbean: Life's a Beach''', '''Nuclear Winter''', and '''Duke it out in D.C.'''. The level packs featured themed palette swapped weapons (i.e. a super soaker instead of a shotgun in the Caribbean pack), palette swapped enemies (i.e. Pig Cops wearing hulu skirts or Santa outfits), a couple new enemies (a bouncing dinosaur life preserver in ''Caribbean'' and uzi-wielding feminist elves in ''Nuclear Winter''), and one new boss (Santa Claus in ''Nuclear Winter'').

On October 13, 2010, an officially-sanctioned indie next-gen reimagination of the game called '''[http://www.dukenukemreloaded.com Duke Nukem 3D: Reloaded]''' [http://www.neoseeker.com/news/14988-duke-nukem-3d-fan-remake-looks-sick/ was announced]. It will use the [[Game Engine|Unreal Engine 3]]. [[Here We Go Again|There isn't a release date as of now]]. As of September 24, 2011 it has been put on indefinite hold due to legal issues (some fairly asinine), which was met with much backlash from the Duke Nukem fan community. It is probably safe to assume that the game has been canned. [http://forums.duke4.net/topic/4862-duke-nukem-reloaded-abandoned/ This thread may lead to some rather curious insight.]
