Funcom has released a thrilling new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their massively multiplayer online survival game set in Frank Herbert's iconic Dune universe. This latest preview showcases the breathtaking, unforgiving landscapes 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, vehicles—including formidable ornithopters—and essential equipment. A handy scanner simplifies resource hunting, while strategically deployed probes on higher ground pinpoint key locations on the map.
These locations range from wrecked spacecraft to deserted outposts, often requiring clever navigation and the use of specialized tools like grappling hooks, power belts, and advanced gear. All equipment is upgradeable at your base using modular components, allowing for continuous adaptation 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. In the meantime, players can create their characters and test their system's performance using the benchmark tool available on the Steam page. The Steam page also features a character creator. Get ready for the harsh beauty of Arrakis!
