The buzz around Denis Villeneuve’s cinematic masterpieces has set the stage for the much-anticipated release of the survival MMO, Dune: Awakening. Developed by Funcom, the game is slated to hit PC screens on May 20, with console versions to follow. As the release date approaches, fans can get a taste of what's to come with the latest gameplay trailer that showcases the essence of the Dune universe.
The trailer dives right into the heart of Arrakis, presenting sweeping views of the desert, detailed base-building mechanics, intense combat sequences, and, of course, the iconic sandworms—everything a true Dune aficionado would expect. The game's protagonist starts his journey as a prisoner on Arrakis, tasked with escaping confinement and embarking on a perilous quest to unravel the mystery behind the vanished Fremen.
To prepare PC players for the launch, Funcom has thoughtfully provided a benchmark tool and a character creator. These resources enable players to optimize their settings and craft their avatars ahead of time, ensuring a smooth transition into the game world when Dune: Awakening officially launches on May 20.
