Recently a tweet from inExile founder Brian Fargo has added fuel to the fire about the rumors of the company working on a Dune game. The founder recently posted a photo with the director of Dune. No, it’s not Denis Villeneuve who made the 2021 Sci-Fi flick. Instead, he met visionary director David Lynch, who made the first movie adaptation of Dune back in 1984. With the developer posting hints through its Twitter account, it’s very unlikely for its top brass to accidentally meet someone who knows a thing or two about the book’s universe.
