So, lets see what they have learned from (Anarchy Online, Age of Conan &) Conan Exiles, now that their next game has this prestigious license. I guess it can only be better than Exiles, which is still not in a working/ideal multiplayer conidition. They need to deliver this time and hopefully are not building this game from Exiles, if so...good night.. I wonder when we see first gameplay and not just a CGI trailer/teaser and how its gonna look.
Is this the game where we saw before a demo of unreal engine 5? Where it looked amazing in the desert setting?
Veeeery cautiously intrigued by this one. After watching all the movies and reading all the books, I got really sad seeing so little has been done games wise in the universe (other than the OG RTS games). I can honestly see any game genre happening in the Dune setting, but RPGs would probably be the best fit.

I actually played that one DOS back in the day. Fell in love with Dune 2... such fond memories. I never got the quizzes right as a kid though
I still want to see Dune part 2. I know they are working on it but have no idea when or if it'll come out. The date keeps changing but i've read it's coming on November 3, 2023.
That is true. It's been in post-production for a while now, I would expect to see a trailer for it soon, releasing in Nov '23
The first of the two parts was excellent. Much better than the original 1970's one, which was a bit too diffcuilt to understand when I watched when I was younger.
Me too! But I failed to beat it - first account with Harkonens and game over... I was playing at work (no PCs for homes in early 90s), so not that much of time to dig...
There is showcase happening on the 4th March. Probably a regular thing now that it's close to release(ish).
