It is a prequel to ''[[Bombshell]]'', and uses the [[EDuke32]] source port of the [[Build]] engine, being the first commercial game using the Build engine since 1999. A preview campaign was released on 28 February 2018 on Windows and Linux via Steam, followed by GOG.com on 21 March 2018. The game was released on 15 August 2019 on Windows and Linux. Release dates for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch versions were the 14 May 2020 for the digital, and 26 June 2020 for the physical releases. ==Plot== In 2097, 6 months after [[Shelly Harrison|Shelly "Bombshell" Harrison]] joined the [[Global Defense Force]]'s domestic defense squad in [[Neo D.C.]], she became its leader. Although the streets are already unsafe and amid a long-standing state of martial law, a mysterious armed cybernetic cult emerges. ==Development== The development on the game started in 2015 under the working title '''''The Washington Project''''' after a [[wikipedia:Gearbox Software|Gearbox]]-backed EDuke32-powered port of ''[[wikipedia:Duke Nukem 3D|Duke Nukem 3D]]'' for Android, dubbed the ''Hail to the King Collection'', was silently cancelled. The Digital Deluxe Edition of ''Bombshell'' included the right for every customer to receive a demo of a prequel first-person shooter game once it is ready, but it also meant that a full version of the game had to be purchased to experience the entire content. On 28 February 2018, a Steam store page was created. Players could buy the game in early access and receive the [[Ion Maiden preview campaign|preview campaign]].<ref>3D Realms (28 February 2018).

It was then given to all customers of the entire game on Steam on 23 January 2019, and with a few days' delay on GOG.com.
