11 months agoMessiah was actually part of the first dune in the original design, although Herbert later splitted it.
Children is something else, even if it shares the characters, it’s very much a setup for God Emperor. It has very different themes and style. Same with Heretics.
IMHO Dune is better seen as three duologies: Dune+Messiah, Children+God Emperor and Heretics and Chapterhouse.
At this point I wonder if there are some internal politics that want this project to fail and be over. 70 price tag, live service but only on ubisoft platform, ignoring the most demanded features, etc.
It’s like they are tired of a project that was a money black hole for years and they just want to pull the plug.
