Development times vary from game to game. But which companies take the cake when it comes to the longest development cycles or most delayed games? This list even starts with a game that was over a decade in the making before being released, and it’s not even Duke Nukem Forever! Every game in the list has a link to its development history. Here it goes:

1. Prey (3D Realms, 1995 – 2006)
2. Duke Nukem Forever (3D Realms, 1997 – Present)
3. Team Fortress 2 (Valve, 1998 – 2007)
4. Too Human (Silicon Knights, 1999 – Present)
5. Galleon (Confounding Factor, 1997 – 2004)
6. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl (GSC Game World 2001 – 2007)
7. StarCraft: Ghost (Blizzard, 2002 – Present)

For more background on each game read CVG. But be afraid, very afraid of Prey, because 3D Realms has already announced Prey 2. Release date 2017?
