With the releaseof two blockbuster films, its a great time to be aDunefan.
We dont want to make it too easy.
Arrakis is the most dangerous planet in the universe.
It has to feel hard and inscrutable.
Its an interesting challenge to keep it balanced and keep it working, but were getting there.
Of course, Arrakiis most iconic natural hazard appears prominently inDune: Awakening the sandworms.
The worm is a whole emergent system thats running on the server the whole, Woodward points out.
There are absolutely things it’s possible for you to do to manipulate it.
The beauty of the political context inDuneis that everything is very feudal.
If youre on the winning side, you want to be the top dog on the winning side.
That creates another level of competition thats going to keep things spicy for players.
Weve obviously worked very closely with Legendary and the Herbert estate, Woodward shares.
Theyve both been really supportive partners.
Its really good to have our own space to play in.
Weve been packed all week and we just want to live up to it as well as we can.
Dune: Awakening is developed and published by Funcom.
The game is slated to be released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
