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 preview.
The trailer showcases the game's key elements: the harsh Arrakis desert landscape, extensive base-building mechanics, intense combat encounters, and the awe-inspiring sandworms—all quintessential Dune experiences.
Players take on the role of a prisoner on Arrakis, beginning their journey with an escape from captivity. Their quest? To unravel the mystery surrounding the vanished Fremen.
Funcom is ensuring a smooth launch for PC players by providing a benchmark tool and a character creator. These tools allow for pre-launch optimization of game settings and character design, minimizing launch-day delays.
