NUKKLEAR teaming up with Funcom for forthcoming Dune game
Today, German games studio NUKKLEAR and Norwegian video game developer Funcom announced they’re joining forces for an online multiplayer survival game set in the world of Dune.
Funcom gained the rights for a Dune game back in 2019. The forthcoming game will be inspired by Funcom’s Conan Exiles, which has sold 1.4 million copies since its 2018 release.
NUKKLEAR CEO Kirk Lenke said this about the forthcoming game:
“We’re grateful to Funcom for bringing us on to help bring Dune to a new audience. We’ve supported and collaborated on many projects over the years, but taking on Dune is by far the biggest yet. Our team welcomes the challenge and is confident in the expertise that NUKKLEAR brings to the table.”
Funcom CEO Rui Casais also said:
"As the Dune open-world survival game is the most ambitious project we’ve ever undertaken at Funcom, having skilled and reliable partners is an absolute must. With NUKKLEAR we have just that. We’ve benefited particularly from their expertise in vehicular-based gameplay, but I know them as highly skilled and creative game developers in general.”
There is no set release window for this untitled Dune game.
