The Dune hype train ceases to halt. Denis Villeneuve’s film adaptation received critical acclaim; Frank Herbert’s novels are selling at a decent rate; the franchise is getting a lot of reception from fans young and old. And now, a survival game is in the works with two development studios at the forefront. Funcom – the guys behind Conan Exiles and Mutant Year Zero – has brought along NUKKLEAR to help bring the new Dune game to life.
A New Dune Video Game for Fans to Look Forward to
Back in 2019, Funcom acquired the rights to create a Dune game based on Frank Herbert’s series of novels. Set in an online survival universe within the same fashion as Conan Exiles, the scope for the Dune game began to increase through a government grant. Additionally, Tencent provided funds as well to assist with the development and production processes. Funcom has been working ever since, but to no attention from the public as of yet.
