It's hard to think of a science fiction universe as inseparable from its canon as Dune. And yet at the same time, it's a universe where so much can vary from one interpretation to the next

In one sense, it seems the decision to"sidestep" the more overtly religious aspects of the main story has been out of consideration for Dune's lore, a way to work around it that was approved by the Herbert estate, via Legendary Studios. For one, by"religious aspect," Bylos is seemingly referring to a very specific part of Dune's plot, which he isn't able to talk about .

Originally slated for release before even the first of Villeneuve's two films back in 2021, Dune: Awakening now takes significant inspiration from them. Bylos and others from Funcom went on set visits while the first film was shooting, and borrowed heavily from designs for vehicles like the thrumming dragonfly-like ornithopters .

If you don't fancy that, you can go and do something entirely peaceful, like be an architect, with some seemingly thoughtful approaches to systems there. You'll spot a form of mining in the trailer, with a player shooting a laser at a pile of rocks, but actually that's part of an"active" or"passive" approach the player can choose, Bylos explains, where picking the more active approach will get you better resources.
