You’re not actually Paul ‘Muad’Dib’ Atriedes in Dune: Awakening. Loads of preternaturally talented wunderkinds hopping about the desert is bound to attract the attention of the dastardly Harkonnens, right? Instead, you’re someone known as the Sleeper, who wakes up alone on the sandy planet of Arrakis and has to make their way in the universe. Even if you’re not embodying the shortening of the way himself, you’ll still get to meet characters from the books.

Dune: Awakening doesn’t have a release date attached, but I hope it’s not actually 20,000 years in the future. It’ll be emerging out of the sand ontoSteamlike Shai Hulud whenever it does arrive.
