For example, the Dune in the movie shows no natural vegetation whatsoever, which is not the case for our Dune. The game requires us to go further yet and adopt a more global view of the planet. The movie is of course a strong visual reference for many iconic aspects of the universe, like the Ornithopter or the sandworm. Having said that, we draw from everything, including the most recent movie by Villeneuve, and even various real-life locations like the Oregon Dunes, the southern deserts of the USA, Wadi Rum, the Acacus Mountains, Tassili n’Ajjer, Ennedi, and even planet Mars. Our main source is the books, principally the ones written by Frank Herbert. However, it’s clear that they spent plenty of time recreating Herbert’s iconic world for the most immersive experience – complete with the rough politics and desert strife.ĭune: Awakening is currently in development for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.Dune is a universe so rich that we’re spoilt for sources of inspiration. That’s combat in Dune Awakening.”įuncom has yet to describe the intricacies of how you can control your fate in Dune Awakening. “Just as you clash, you hear the rumble of a sandworm coming. “You drive to a spice bloat in the distance in order to harvest with your guild, and you see in the distance another guild coming towards you.”
“By the end of the game, perhaps you’re running a guild,” says Bylos. These vehicles include ornithopters, sand bikes, and other mounts shown in the series. Finally, Control is when you’re big enough to fight as part of a guild against other guilds.Ĭreative director Joel Bylos describes the game’s battles as large-scale conflicts with weapons and vehicles, where you compete for spices and resources in the harsh desert of Arrakis. Expand means spreading your influence, gaining more power and eventually building a guild. Next comes Protect, when you’ve gained something you want to protect like a base or resources. Ideally, you would use this knife to stab enemies in order to steal their water. You begin your story as a castaway with only a knife that you’ve crafted out of scrap metal. “You start out in the desert surviving, clinging to life, and in the end, you might become someone like the Baron Harkonnen,” says Sommerbakk.
