Not much news right now, but still something cool to keep in mind for the future.

The Classic Dune Board Game Is Coming Back After Over 30 Years Out Of Print
Behind the upcoming new edition is Gale Force Nine, the well-regarded studio behind licensed games such as Firefly Adventures, Star Trek Ascendancy and Sons of Anarchy: Men of Mayhem, which announced last summer that it was working on multiple tabletop games set in the Dune universe.

As well as original games “drawing from the full scope of the Dune franchise”, Gale Force Nine confirmed it would also produce several direct tie-ins to the upcoming cinematic reboot of Dune from Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 director Denis Villeneuve due for release next year.

Gale Force Nine’s announcement of its Dune reprint at the GAMA trade fair was initially reported by There Will Be Games, before original co-designer Peter Olotka subsequently confirmed the news on Twitter, teasing that the revised edition will be “better than ever”. The first image of the new edition appears to show revised artwork for the box and map board – further details are yet to be announced.

The release date for the Dune reprint is still to be confirmed, and Gale Force Nine has not revealed any of its other upcoming titles set in the universe.

I've yet to look into the board game, I never really got into Dune beyond the movie in the 80s and the RTS, PC game, Dune II. Spent several days over the course of a spring break in high school playing Dune II, I really enjoyed the real time strategy aspect of the game. I played through two campaigns, beating the game with House Atreides and again with House Ordos. House Harkonnen had the heaviest weaponry and seemed easier to win battle, so I didn't consider it a challenge and never attempted to play through with them.

Hopefully the RPG will be worth it for players interested in the setting, I'm sure it will pick up steam once the movie drops.
