EPISODE IV THE BIRTH

The Birth is the fourth episode of Duke Nukem 3D. The fourth episode was added to the game as part of the Atomic Edition and contains eleven levels, including one secret level. The final boss is the Alien Queen.

None of these levels were created from scratch. In the 20th anniversary developer commentary, Keith Schuler explains (and Allen Blum agrees):

"I don’t think I did either [ XXX-Stacy or Critical Mass ] from scratch. I mean, that was how Plutonium PAK worked, right? It was all a bunch of content that either didn’t make it into the original game or, you know, had been started but not finished. And so we just took all those scraps, and we finished them up."

All of the added levels relied heavily on material from maps that were partly completed or scrapped. For example, the level Derelict was nearly finished and fully playable in the December 1994 prototype, making it one of the oldest levels in the game.
