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, expansive deserts of Arrakis and hints at the perilous journey 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 gear. A handy scanner aids in resource hunting, while strategically deploying probes from elevated vantage points reveals crucial points of interest across the map.
These points of interest range from wreckage of crashed spacecraft to deserted outposts, often requiring clever navigation and the strategic use of tools like grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized equipment. All gear is upgradeable at your base using modular components, ensuring players are constantly prepared for the harsh realities of Arrakis.
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 begin customizing their characters and assess system performance using the benchmark tool available on the Steam page. Get ready to brave the spice-filled sands!
