Xbox Dune: Part 2 Premiere

NVE undertook the challenge of constructing a flight simulator, providing guests with a complete immersion into the Dune universe and allowing them to experience the sensation of piloting an Ornithopter. The UK premiere took precedence for capturing exclusive content of Timothée Chalamet—who was instrumental in the controller’s design— playing the game, taking part in photoshoots with the Ornithopter build, and showing off his piloting skills from the film.

XBOX had the Ornithopter’s design ready and tasked NVE with bringing it to life. The area where NVE was able to be creative was when we recreated the back wall that the simulator sat against. Our team worked magic with the limited assets from Legendary to craft a backdrop that mirrored the original as closely as possible.

We teamed up with top-notch fabrication crews in the UK and New York to craft an awe-inspiring Ornithopter, set to dazzle at premieres before making its way to Microsoft experience centers for fans to revel in and interact with. While XBOX took the reins on the tech, we orchestrated the build and seamless transfer process, ensuring a journey as epic as the creation itself. 

Ultimately, our collaboration played a pivotal role in magnifying the Dune experience, intertwining the realms of gaming and cinema in an unprecedented showcase. We facilitated the content capture of Timothée Chalamet deeply immersed in the game, a moment that underlines the seamless integration of narrative and interactivity. Zendaya and prominent cast members were also captured in engaging moments with the game and the build, amplifying the allure of the Dune universe.
