Maybe we can finally get back the legacy that was lost. While I don’t like the sound of a multiplayer focused entry, I can only imagine that Funcom is actively seeking some way to bring back the RTS Dune titles. I think it’s a crying shame that Westwood Studios went under after creating such wonderful strategy games. I don’t have a large history with the previous Dune games, but I do remember really digging 2001’s Emperor: Battle for Dune. The games will likely see appearances from the film’s stars, which include Dave Bautista, Stellan Skarsgard, and Oscar Isaac. Considering the Dune film isn’t set to release until next year, we could be looking at PS5 and Xbox Two (?) as the lead platforms. These new Dune titles will be released on both PC and consoles, though no specific platforms have been named. The company has entered a six-year licensing agreement with Legendary and it seems this first title will be released to promote the upcoming Denis Villeneuve directed Dune film. Disclaimer: By the letter-of-the-law, abandonware isnt 100 legal but theres no real legal vector to obtain these games, each over 2 decades old. Set to enter pre-production sometime this year, the game is the first in a line of multiple Dune projects that Funcom will be working on. Thanks to open source, both Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty and its sequel, Dune 2000, can be played on Mac OS, natively and with some modern improvements.

Developer Funcom is working with Legendary Studios to develop a new open-world, multiplayer title based on the Dune series.
