For me I think Wheel of Time would be a great Skyrim type of open world game.
Ringworld
Number of the Beast by Heinlein
Still haven’t read Elric yet but it sounds like it would make a good game.

The Peter Hamilton's Night's Dawn universe could actually make a pretty good sandbox Freelancer type game.
It's got a decently fleshed out empire balance of power, it's not hard sci fi so you can do gameplay over realism for travel/fight mechanics.
And it's got the reincarnated historical characters for normies to latch on to in the marketing as something recognizable. Missions smuggling super space-hooch for immortal Al Capone could end up just on the fun side of goofy.
