The Bene Gesserit will likely still be trying to birth the Kwisatz Haderach, however, and there are other possibilities due to the survival of Duke Leto. For example, Lady Jessica is pregnant with Alia in Dune: Part Two , and with Leto surviving for eight more years, it's possible that he would get to know his daughter better, potentially changing her destiny too. The Bene Gesserit wanted Lady Jessica to have a girl, so it's extremely possible they could have turned their attention to Alia instead. Alternatively, they could turn to Feyd-Rautha and the Harkonnen side of the family tree to attempt to birth the Kwisatz Haderach, being an even more extreme departure from the source material.However, this ongoing war suggests that there could be many other departures from Dune 's story.

Despite this, the game's story has made at least one massive change from the book and the movies that could have major consequences going forward. Base building is another big part of Dune: Awakening ’s overall gameplay, with a separate building mode reminiscent of other base building games like No Man’s Sky . Players can scroll through sections like basic components such as walls and roofs, crafting machinery, and assorted furniture and see an outline of what it would look like before placement. These also come in styled sets for Houses that fans will be familiar with, offering different aesthetics, from the sleeker House Harkonnnen to a more traditional-style Atrei Anyone planning to play Dune: Awakening at launch might do well to take advantage of the early Character Creator release, as there's more to do than just swap out some hairstyles. The Gom Jabbar test makes an appearance in the character creation process, as do the options to choose background characteristics like home planet and caste.

New footage from Funcom's 15-minute Dune Awakening Vehicles: Awakening Direct showcase showed some of this ongoing conflict, with players searching the wreckage of vehicles on the battlefield for scraps and resources, which they could later use to build bases across Arrakis. The aforementioned PC Gamer interview with Bylos also suggested that players could get a chance to align themselves with Leto depending on the choices they make, and who they opt to help up to that point, which also implies that players could join forces with other factions instead.
