Frank Herbert’s sci-fi world of vast sand worms and magical spacedrugs and political intrigue and swordfights and Kyle MacLachlan with a pet spacepug and Sting posing in his pants is being digitised again. Funcom, the Norwegian crew behind Conan Exiles and The Secret World, today announced that they’re planning to make several video games based on Dune. We best know Dune round these parts for Dune II, Westwood’s seminal 1992 real-time strategy game which set the blueprint for Command & Conquer and Warcraft and so on. Funcom’s first Dune game is due to be some sort of “open world multiplayer” game, so perhaps another sandbox survival sorta thing?
