Worming its way to completion

Lo, a ripple in the release date sands.

Stand still a moment while we study this phenomenon.

That could mean January or February.

Paul Atreides stands in the desert in Dune Awakening.

Or March, I guess.

Now don’t be silly, that’s spring.

Not April, surely.

This beast seems hungry.

It will eat before then.

I have foreseen it.

Mostly by watching the trailer that dropped at Gamescom.

The trailer aired during Gamescom’s advertising bonanza, Opening Night Live.

There’s a fair bit of ornithopter flying, which looks like quite a buzz.

As expected, much else of what we see is in keeping with Dune’s lore.

There are body shields and sand worms and those wibbly hoverpacks I don’t know the name of.

You’ll also get to meet known characters from the fiction such as famous protagonistDuniel BagginsPaul Atreides.

Paul’s father is alive and well, for example, counter to the canon.

Even the environment will see some changes.

My outrage better be coming across as fake!!

Because it is!!!

I like plants!!!!

Edwin got an early look at the craftysurvival gameand came away"surprisingly enthused".

For everyone else, time to squat in the sand and look at the horizon thoughtfully for 5-6 months.
