I really wish it was going to be available on macOS.

Zero gameplay.

I've had an idea for a while now for a game taking place during the events of Children of Dune. It'd be a third person action game where you'd play as Super-powered Leto II right after he gets his sandtrout skin. The game would involve you running around the deserts of Arrakis taking out Sardaukar bases while progressing through the story of Children of Dune. If the game had good writers you could even keep the story going passed Leto II's accension to the throne and cover some time early on during his 4000 year reign.

Anyway, this game looks like it might be the closest thing I'm likely to get to a realization of that idea. So I'm cautiously hype for it.

Really hope they make this into more than just a cash grab. There is so much potential

Yet another live service online game? Some people might like, but personally I'd rather have a single player game with a cool story and fun gameplay mechanics.

It's by the same studio that started and then killed "The Cycle", that extraction shooter that had way too many problems in its development cycle.

Maybe post the YouTube link so I can use my preferred front-end instead of one you choose for me.

Good point! I had some trouble figuring out how to edit but updated with a YT link.
