: The community immediately began using the leaked assets and source code to create the DNF 2001 Restoration Project , aiming to fix bugs and complete the unfinished levels to make the game fully playable.
The leak, including the Press Kit and the source code, allowed fans to finally see the "real" game that had been teased for decades.
: Modern patches and guides, such as those on Steam Community, now allow players to run this 2001 build on modern Windows 10 and 11 systems.
: George Broussard, the creator of Duke Nukem, confirmed the build's authenticity but noted it was a "scattered collection of levels" rather than a finished game.
