Funcom has released a thrilling new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their upcoming multiplayer survival game set in Frank Herbert's iconic Dune universe. The trailer showcases the vast, unforgiving deserts of Arrakis, highlighting the challenges and rewards awaiting players.
Survival in Dune: Awakening hinges on exploration. Players must traverse the treacherous dunes, scavenging vital resources to craft shelters and vehicles, including formidable ornithopters. A handy scanner assists in resource gathering, while strategically deployed probes on higher ground pinpoint crucial locations on the map.
These points of interest vary from wrecked starships to deserted outposts, often requiring clever navigation and the use of specialized tools like grappling hooks, power belts, and other advanced gear. All equipment is upgradeable at your base using modular components, ensuring adaptability to the ever-present dangers.
Dune: Awakening enters early access on PC via Steam on May 20th. Console versions (PS5 and Xbox Series X/S) will follow at a later date. Players can currently create their characters and assess system performance using the benchmark tool available on the Steam page. Get ready to conquer Arrakis!
