Is Dune: Awakening akin toFinal Fantasy 14orWorld of Warcraft?
Is it entirely multiplayer or is it enjoyable as a single-player experience within an online game?
“The main story is very much a single-player experience.
“But apart from just the story, [there’s] just building bases and the like.
I’m a big fan of building and decorating and things like that.
I think it’s really fun.
That is absolutely something you might do, both solo but also co-op.”
“A lot of the endgame loops are strongly multiplayer,” says Ryborg.
As someone who doesn’t always enjoy MMOs' more social features, I breathe a sigh of relief.
Now we’re just upgrading it here for Dune because we’re back in the desert, right?
But even apart from that, we’re quite familiar with general survival mechanics.
And with Dune, we’ve had the pleasure of being able to upgrade the quality of it.
However, Arrakis is anything but normal.
“So yes, absolutely, we do feel it.
He tells me about the MMO’s mind-boggling shield feature one that hardened Dune stans are sure to enjoy.
and “also something that you’re going to use to fuel your own ability.”
Paul being absent means other characters who were killed off are alive in-game.
“These are really cool, iconic characters we still want to be able to see, right?
Duke Leto, Duncan, the Baron all of them.
It’s given us a ton of creative freedom.”
Ryborg tells me the movies are “absolutely helping” production.
“So many things,” according to Ryborg.
“There’s a lot of world to cover.
How will this one-of-a-kind identity evolve after launch, though?
I wonder this aloud, asking Ryborg what evolutionary direction Dune: Awakening might take.
We’ve made choices already on Arrakis to try and help bring this up.”
Could this mean expansions or trips to other planets?
