# Remastered Third-Person Games Blaze Evercade Re-Released the PS1-Era Duke Nukem Games By Colin Smith | Published 2023-12-05 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duke-nukem-collection-2 References: [evercade](https://evercade.co.uk/cartridges/duke-nukem-collection-2/)  The '[Duke Nukem](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ollie) Collection 2' is the second compilation of classic Duke Nukem games released by [Blaze Evercade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duke-nukem-collection), a British gaming company aiming to license and preserve retro titles legally and officially. The collection features three games: Duke Nukem [Advance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/AI-delivery-orchestration), Duke Nukem: Time to Kill, and Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes. These games showcase the iconic action hero as he battles aliens, mutants, and time-traveling enemies in various settings, such as Los Angeles, ancient Rome, and a post-apocalyptic Earth. This collection is notable as it includes two 32-bit PlayStation 1-era games, which is the high-end of playable games on the Evercade. The collection is a must-have for fans of the Duke Nukem franchise, as it offers a nostalgic trip down memory lane with enhanced graphics, sound, and gameplay. The games are also compatible with the Evercade VS, a home console that allows up to four players to enjoy the retro games on a big screen, and the Evercade EXP, a compact handheld console. Duke Nukem Collection 2 is expected to launch in early 2024, along with other Evercade collections, such as Worms Collection 2, Indie Heroes Collection 2, and Piko Interactive Collection 3.
