Funcom and Nukklear to develop Dune survival game

The spice must flow. Or at least that’s what Funcom and German developer Nukklear are counting on with a new game in the Dune universe.

In 2019, Funcom acquired the rights to make a game based on Frank Herbert’s Dune, a popular science fiction series that has spawned several adaptations. The currently untitled project will take inspiration from another Funcom game named Conan Exiles and will focus on survival gameplay. After an investment from media giant Tencent, Funcom reached out to developer Nukklear to help co-develop the new title.
