Spoiler Alert: It will be terrible.

This is so far behind the "Open World Survival Craft MMO" trend however that by the time its out what's old might be new again.

I mean, its literally one game so you get sick pretty easily.
And I dont think anyone has made a LOTR game for a little while. But yeah, for a brief period there were tons of them.

What I really meant is that none of em were good (IMO) and really, do we need to bring Dune back? Horrible movies, horrible series, and honestly, I read the books in the very early 80s and really thought they were boring AF. 🙂

Dune 2 at the time was awesome and genre defining, and if you don't like the franchise at all then it just isn't relevant for you anyway. Dune as a franchise was dead for a very long time, and I'm happy that we're seeing a few things released (new game/s, movies etc).

Obviously your definition of good sci fi is the Teletubies.

Emperor: Battle for Dune was 2001, Dune: Spice Wars was just last year. There's also the Villeneuve Dune films (Part 2 later this year), various books, comics & TV shows released since 2000.
 
I'm surprised the Dune universe was always kind of niche and never became as popular as Star Wars. A lot of the things in Star Wars are taken straight from Dune.

-SW might have taken the wind out of dune. Can only imagine how many people think Dune is a ripoff of SW at this point.
 
I love the Dune series, first real PC game was Dune2 which essentially spawned the entire RTS genre and Westwood Studios.

That said, I also don't expect this game to do well, although I'll probably still try it. If it was just multiplayer and focused more on resource / automation like Factorio / Satisfactory I think it would fill an interesting niche.

As for new survival crafting games, I'm more looking forward to https://www.playnightingale.com/
