Frank Herbert\u2019s seminal sci-fi classic has been enjoyed by a brand new audience but now it\u2019s time to focus on Funcom\u2019s re-imagined Dune world, where religion is less prominent and where Paul Atreides was never born. Can Dune: Awakening find its place among gamers while straying from the lore of the original?<\/p>\n<p>Funcom\u2019s new MMO veers off from Herbert\u2019s storyline when the alternate timeline that Jessica Atreides creates by choosing to give birth to a daughter instead of Paul, begins a cascading chain of events. Paul\u2019s absence leads to a huge power vacuum into which players will venture, creating their own story.<\/p>\n<p>So immediately that is going to be disliked by those loyal to the book, but it does let the devs create a war-torn version of Arrakis where you can forge your own path and become a major player in the control of Spice.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><iframe title=\"Dune: Awakening \u2013 Creating Worlds, from Book to Film to Game\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LW6ou6mugAA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Funcom has been here before of course, with the hugely popular Conan MMO and we have a feeling it will put a lot of what it has learned there into action with Dune: Awakening many of its plans were spoken about in a 30-minute showcase which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.duneawakening.com\/\">you can read all about on the website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaking the world feel seamless and connected has always been one of our goals on Dune: Awakening,\u201d said Joel Bylos, Dune Awakening\u2019s Creative Director. \u201cWe built this structure with the idea of making the game expandable, which is difficult with a single map.
