Translations:Dune Awakening Direct/10/en

Religion and Spirituality

• A big part of the story is to find the Fremen
• The Fremen leave a vacuum of power, with them no longer there, other powers have risen to fill that gap
• The game has more story than an open sandbox, but it's "optional" - the player isn't forced to engage with it
• The player will encounter lore characters who die in the "original" timeline (like Duke Leto)
• The devs work closely with Legendary and the Herbert estate to stick close to the source material and use it as a guideline
• They have a full timeline of lore for the game (over 10,000 words)
• The player is NOT the Mahdi, so will have to embrace the chaos of Arrakis
• Arrakis is still a harsh world to train the faithful
• There is no clear dominant force in the War of Assassins
• This gives a lot of opportunity for the player to step in and sway the war
• Many groups have grown and splintered to claim their patch
• There is a group of Fremen Cultists who have twisted their original ways
• The player uses Spice as a tool to help Awaken, and undergo the Fremen Trial of Aql to master the sands
• Religion and Spirituality have been wielded as weapons in the main Dune story, but how the Sleepers use it is yet to be seen
