Funcom has revealed that it has partnered with Legendary Entertainment and Herbert Properties LLC to develop games based on the Dune universe, created by Frank Herbert and spawning various books and adaptations.
Denis Villeneuve is currently working on a film adaptation of Dune too, including the likes of Jason Momoa and Javier Bardem. This game is just another extension of the series building on the momentum of this project, and development will start at Funcom's Oslo studio later this year.
"Funcom has a strong history of working with beloved sci-fi/fantasy intellectual properties including our bestsellers Age of Conan and Conan Exiles," said Funcom CEO Rui Casais. "So many of us at Funcom, myself included, are huge fans of Frank Herbert's work and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to collaborate with Legendary and Herbert Properties LLC to bring the iconic Dune universe to life for gamers all over the globe."
