Franchise synergies Funcom’s track record in online multiplayer and its Dune themed projects present opportunities for licensing, co-development, or cross-promotional campaigns with filmmakers, authors, and IP holders in the sci-fi and fantasy genres.

Global studio footprint With studios in Oslo, Durham, Lisbon, and Bucharest and a diverse team, there is potential to offer regional outsourcing, co-development, or nearshore services for international publishers and platforms seeking cost-effective production capacity and multilingual support.

Dune ecosystem Upcoming Dune related DLCs and a dedicated single‑player mode expansion create upsell opportunities for premium content bundles, merchandise collaborations, and platform exclusivity deals ahead of catalog launches.

Marketing scale Recent press activity and events around Gamescom 2026 indicate readiness for joint marketing programs, influencer partnerships, and experiential campaigns to accelerate title visibility and drive pre-orders.

Financial upside A large revenue band and proven IP development capability signal potential for strategic investments, publishing partnerships, and monetization both in-game (DLC, cosmetics, passes) and in adjacent media ventures.
