The anticipation for Dune: Awakening, the survival MMO based on Denis Villeneuve's acclaimed films, is reaching fever pitch. Funcom has confirmed the PC launch date: May 20th! Console players will need to wait a bit longer, but a new gameplay trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse of what awaits.
The trailer showcases the game's core elements: the harsh Arrakisian desert, extensive base-building mechanics, thrilling combat encounters, and the iconic sandworms—all essential ingredients for a true Dune experience.
Players will assume the role of a prisoner on Arrakis, thrust into a desperate struggle for survival. Their journey begins with a daring escape, leading them on a perilous quest to unravel the mystery surrounding the vanished Fremen.
To ensure a smooth launch, Funcom has proactively released a benchmark tool and a character creator. This allows PC players to optimize their in-game settings and craft their avatars beforehand, minimizing delays on launch day.
