Interesting, I like the separation from the main Dune storyline, really lets us go wild with our own story. Definitely looking forward to playing this.
As someone who's read the books, and love them - seen the movies, and love them - this just feels so very Dune. I love that we get to explore one of the paths Paul has seen, and that we get to explore new adventures and stories, and not "just" play the events taking place in already existing Dune litterature. This is very bold, and extremly cool - can't wait!
Yes but what the person means is, WHAT IF is a title of a Disney's alternate Marvel timelines. So they're just hoping this game won't get the Disney treatment. @@SommelierDeVida
I knew y'all were changing the timeline but I didn't know you were going this fundamental. I'm strangely ok with it, even excited for it! Because it's separated enough from the cannon story line that you can definitely play with it and I'm very interested to see where this leads!
@collin8939 it was always meant to be pauls son regardless if paul was born a girl or boy. His mom giving birth to a boy caused a bunch of problems that paul has to fix to give way to humanities salvation
Hi. Old guy Dune fan and casual gamer here... as soon as they announce the release date I'm putting in a PTO request at work. I'm gonna go at this like I did Warcraft II in December of '95 (er... sans the hot pockets and jolt cola... my GI tract can't handle that now). I'm so very, very in.
I would have said the same until I saw this trailer. Now I've switched over to "wait for a few months of reviews and decide" point of view. Hard to imagine a Dune without fremen.
@@samespy4700 I'm on board with everything except the lack of Fremen. Was it really necessary to say they were exterminated? They should be their own faction.
Been reading Dune series for my first time over the last 2 months. Made it to Children of Dune this week. Now having the books context of prescience, it adds so much excitement to seeing this story idea. It’s clever and very fitting and gives freedom to do whatever they want in this universe while respecting both book and film as their own sources.
Ok, I really expected to resist the alternate storyline but how they depicted the Jihad and an older Paul, made me reconsider. Im just worried about the no Fremen part.
I'm willing to BET the Fremen will return in some big game event in a year or two, revealing they just went underground. They've mentioned in interviews they want to introduce the Fremen -after- they get the offworlder experience right
It's hard to see the future, what Paul thinks he is seeing could be flawed or incorrect. Follow the clues and discover the truth in your journey across the game.
@@Funcom we're definitely excited to follow the story this game is making. It's making it's own mark, being it's own thing, still being Dune. Definitely gonna let you cook!
I'd like to see expedition missions 'off-world' where you commit a certain amount of Spice to bribe the spacing guild for passage and to account for your own Spice addiction, then you visit and raid factories or inner sanctums of the various Houses Major to unlock rare schematics. I do not expect them to design all the worlds entirely, but perhaps the Palace of Kaitain, Castle Caladan, Geidi Prime, Wallach 4 and the underground realm of House Vernius on Ix. This way, players in end-game could get a change of scenery beyond the hidden outposts with there own contained biomes. It would be great to travel to advance skills with the Bene Gesserit on Wallach 4 or for a Mentat to train further in robotics on Ix. These off-world raids, could allow Mentat & Bene Gesserit trained characters to go on assassination missions, or Mentat & Trooper types to sabotage factories and so forth. Also hoping that outer-clothing worn in the towns and cities will allow players to design a character that matches their path and profession.
They's stated they're into the idea of doing off-world later, but don't know how to do it yet. I've had similar thoughts as you, and I think this makes the most sense and is the most doable. I wanna raid Harkonnen spice depots on Giedi Prime.
@@felixhaggblom7562 Thanks for the comment. Yes, I think they could make this end-game type content, even DLC territory in order to retain players who possibly get a little bored of the desert world of Arrakis (I know it's going to be impressive, but still I worry regarding player retention). Off-world missions seem to offer the best option for expanding content, furthering skills & career paths, while representing more of the worlds from Herbert's works. More than anything, I want this game to be a big success and retain it's player base past the first couple of months and I am concerned that as impressive as it may be upon release, some players will get bored quickly of the game-loop of - fight over Spice, collect schematics, wait for storm to clear and repeat. If we can go off world and interact with NPCs who give us story missions or side-quests to further our profession and obtain the rarest schematics possible (Essentially Raid/Assassination missions) then it will hopefully become that welcome break from the desert world. Just like you, I would like to enter the inner-sanctums of Geidi Prime and sabotage a factory of the Harkonnen, or wander Castle Caladan's harbours, looking out to sea and perhaps accepting a secret mission to obtain data to be used against their enemies, or delving deep below into the most secret levels of House Vernius to obtain rare schematics to build powerful robotics to tip the balance in the battles on Arrakis. All the best.
I can definitely see how hard it would be to give the players the ability to interact with a living story with the established canon. Every path leads to Paul, so even the player's decisions and actions would have no meaning. Deviating like this really opens the universe to a whole new bunch of lore. I was 50/50 about this, but the devs seem like real nerds for the story, I have to say I'm glad it's in good hands.
@@Funcom then let me in the closed beta! Lol I'm a hobby dev, dabbled in modding exiles and running servers for it and I love giving constructed feedback lol If not, this sleeper gonna be restless for awhile lol
looks very interesting!... It will be good to explore the dune world you have created in an alternate time line. I'm kind of glad house Atreides doesn't get exterminated....shame about the Fremen though.
Not sure if any one els had that chill going down you spine and goose bumbs fealing after watching this. i sure did. and man i want to get into the beta . but also want to play it when it comes out. Just wish they will show more about how the world is setup . If its for ppl to run own servers. as conan exile. or more like TSW or Anarchy online.
The game knows where a character is in relation to the world map. Longitute/Latittude/Altitude.. Is there a map coordinate system that a character can access to know where he/she is? I haven't noticed a minimap or other indicators for locations. If there is a system we can access, will each separate zone be unique? Or have it's own coordinates. Or would all coordinates be "World" numbering?
@@Yung-Custard realise that china owns alot of this company. tencent owns atleast 29% maybe even owns the whole company. so they have to ask tencent before they are allowed to give out date.
I have been reading the books and I just got to a part where Lady Jessica thought about how having a daughter wouldn’t have saved Leto. I am looking forward to playing this and discovering how wrong she was!
@@iRandomLife how will bases be raided then ? Won't people just all build near the pvp entrance if it's a instance. So many questions would be great for them to enlighten us.
@@thetempter9023 There's no base raiding. It's not intended. Open world PvP is intended in the Deep Desert. Your bases aren't in the Deep Desert. Therefore no Base Raiding. AT least not on release
Great idea to have the what if Paul never existed timeline. I'm a huge fan of the Dune lore and this one fascinates me.. Interesting to have Paul in the trailer himself speaking about this alternate timeline. So..... I'm guessing we will still have Feyd Rautha and The Beast Rabban?
This looks awsome. I was originality concerned that it wokuld be another retreading of the books. And i had zero intrest in the game But the idea of putting you in the shoes of Paul (or Pauline as the case may be). And trying for new outcomes has just had me ho a complete 180 !
Paul wouldn't be able to see such a future. The moment he peered into the future all alternative timelines which excluded his prescience were extinguished. He was only able to see the timelines where he had his powers.
@@beezytheinfamous Why does it bother you that I prefer greedy companies keep to source material instead of writing some bullshit for a cash grab? Consume your garbage in peace friend, nothing changes from my criticism.
If Jessica gives birth to a daughter in this timeline, this means the Bene Geserit complete their Kwisatz Haderach plan. I wonder if he'll become a central character or antagonist in the story.
A good setting for an MMO for sure. Very curious where this is going. So does the whole game basically take place in Paul's head or am I taking things too literally?
The biggest problem with this timeline is that Leto II won't be born, so once Kralizec happens - which it eventually will - humanity will either go extinct or revert back to very primate life
I am a rabid Dune and Frank Herbert fan. I've read all of his works including the entire Dune series multiple times. And I am almost always a canon/novel purist who cannot stand deviations from the source material. For instance, I have major issues with some of Denis Villeneuve's changes in his adaptation of his Dune part two. However, that being said, I am feeling very good with the changes to the story with Awakenings. In order to make a game wherein the player can have any meaningful affect upon the universe at large, you'd have to either make it a prequel or an alternate timeline. Given that they're open about this change, I am feeling quite optimistic. The game looks great. And this alternate timeline angle fits in nicely with the concept of Paul's trinocluar vision. I don't think the Fremen will actually be exterminated. In previous videos about the game they've mentioned the Fremen. Seems more likely that it will be thought that they have been wiped out; but will still be hiding in the deep desert. This seems to me that the developers have a respect for Frank Herbert's vision, and that perhaps for this reason they've opted to go with this major change. So as to not step all over the established canon. I remain locked in anticipation of this game's release.
Wow! This has to be the most positive comment section of a series that plans to bastardize the lore of a beloved franchise that I've ever seen. Surely it's not because comments are being manipulated. Oh, I know, let's see how long it takes for this comment to fall into an alternate timeline.
Losing the fremen sucks but without their tech this can be the first Dune property where the worms are actually eldritch unknowable environmental threats rather than taxis
I just love the idea that this whole game is just in Paul's head
its not in his head he has a Vision of an alternate universe
Alternate timeline makes so much sense. I want to get in the closed beta so bad.

I love the fact that "the spice must flow" quote from Lynch's movie is so iconic, it persists even in this era of "new" Dune.
