Why make another Dune game?
The Dune franchise is near and dear to Westwood’s heart. It was with the first game in this series, Dune II, that Westwood pioneered the real-time strategy (RTS) genre, and went on to perfect it with the Command & Conquer franchise. Also, the Dune universe is so extraordinarily rich and varied, in both the landscapes and the characters, that it serves as the perfect setting for a game.
