love the frank herbert books. I thought the recent movies were ok. But MMO? what a strange fit for this universe… unless billions of the players die in the jihad lol
It’s an alternate timeline where Jessica had a daughter instead of a son and Leto defeated the Harkoenens during their invasion, so Leto rules over Arrakis for the indefinite future, leaving space in the story for fetch quests and base building. Apparently the fremen disappeared too, so you have to solve the mystery.

this is what the bene wanted. a daughter Atreides to mate with Feyd Rutha Harkonnen - but Jessica wanted to satisfy Leto.

uhhh so this is an entirely different fiction huh
Apparently the firemen disappeared too, so you have to solve the mystery.
I suspect you mean fremen…
why even bother licensing the story if they’re determined to change everything?
Wait, this is going to be a Funcom game?? Oh man, Funcom has made some of our favourite games! We adored Anarchy Online, and The Secret World is still one of the mmo’s I would recommend to anyone who wants to try a really unique modern mmo with an amazing story.
Unfortunately when they were developing TSW and Age of Conan, someone made the call to go all in on AOC which was just… not unique in a space saturated with that kind of WoW clone.
TSW ended up not having the cashflow (devs) it needed to release updates and expansions and it fell into disfavour once the player base reached end game. Which is really sad, because even as a “dead” game the story and gameplay are so good.
I really hope they have retained the devs that worked on TSW and have enough cash to push everything into this game. Make it unique like TSW and AO were, push a couple expansions, and there will be players.
I only got to play a bit of The Secret World (or was it Legends or something?) and it was really fun! I was sad I had found it at the end of life. My memory is bad, so my only real memory was er…I was helping around some Haunted Indian Reservation, and the daughter of the owner was rightfully complaining about people coming in and white knighting (and being male) and we panned over to my character…chinese ass woman standing there. And it acknowledge that! She was like “Guess not all the time though” and it was like!!! Excellent!!!

who thought this was a good idea?

Alternate universe shenanigans. Is how it looks to me. Especially given bene stuff is not limited to women. Or the order. Somehow.
more plausible than anything else I suppose
