New Dune game announcements teased by world’s vaguest – and most accurate – leaker

metro.co.uk:

The industry’s vaguest leaker is either hinting at a new Dune game or an update on Funcom’s Dune survival title.

Remember the open world survival multiplayer Dune game that’s in development? We don’t blame you if not; we forgot it existed too, but recent online chatter has suddenly put it back in the public eye.

This is because The Snitch, the world’s vaguest but most accurate leaker, recently posted a picture of a poster for the 2021 Dune movie. Albeit one slightly edited so that the character in the poster has the hair from The Snitch’s profile picture.

Given their reputation for extremely accurate video game leaks (most recently, they teased something Alone In The Dark related ahead of the announcement of a remake), it stands to reason that some kind of Dune related game announcement is on the horizon.

What’s unclear is whether it’s a brand new game or the aforementioned survival game, which we know next to nothing about and lacks any sort of trailer.

The leak’s complete lack of details means it’s impossible to tell, with the edited hair perhaps hinting at a character customisation feature, which would make sense for a multiplayer game (or The Snitch themselves is starring in a Dune game, but we doubt that).

The Snitch’s leaks are usually followed by an official reveal shortly afterwards. While we could see a trailer randomly drop in the next week or so, it’s entirely possible that a Dune game will be featured at Gamescom on Tuesday.

Specifically, the Gamescom Opening Night Live presentation, which host Geoff Keighley says will feature at least 30 brand new and existing games.

All we know about the Dune survival game is that it’s in development at Norwegian studio Funcom, specifically at its Oslo office, which last released
