Deep Silver and Apogee Software have announced an agreement to co-publish the Duke Nukem Trilogy episodes for the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP in North America and Europe.

"We were seeking a strong global publishing partner to herald the eagerly-anticipated return of Duke Nukem," said Terry Nagy, co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of Apogee. "We have indeed found that partner in Deep Silver."

The Trilogy is comprised of three new episodes, released sequentially, beginning in the Summer of 2009: Critical Mass, Chain Reaction, and Proving Grounds. The Trilogy is being produced by Apogee under an exclusive license agreement with 3D Realms Entertainment and MachineWorks Northwest LLC, and will be released by Deep Silver, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Koch Media.
