"Dune: Awakening Unveils Unreal Engine 5 Gameplay and Alt History Approach in New Details"
TL;DR
Funcom's upcoming survival MMO, Dune: Awakening, takes an "alternate history" approach to the Dune universe, set "a few years" before the events of the books with a significant decision diverging from the original timeline. The game will focus on the Butlerian jihad and spice consumption, with players vying for resources in a faction-based system. The game's director emphasized a thoughtful approach to game design and a commitment to avoiding exploitative mechanics, while also hinting at surprises for fans of the Dune universe.
