The Benchmark Sequence is designed to assess your PC's performance, automatically adjusting graphics settings to ensure optimal gameplay. This sequence will guide you through a player-built desert base, the vibrant Harko Village, and culminate in a thrilling encounter with a colossal sandworm.

Priced at USD 49.99, Dune: Awakening will soon be available for pre-order on Steam. Pre-ordering grants you an in-base decoration, the Terrarium of Muad’Dib, featuring the beloved desert kangaroo mouse from the series.

Dune: Awakening Features An Alternate World

Drawing inspiration from Frank Herbert's iconic Dune novels and the acclaimed movie adaptations, Dune: Awakening offers an open-world multiplayer survival experience within the same universe. Begin your adventure as a prisoner tasked with unraveling the mystery of the Fremen’s disappearance. As you progress, you'll rise from obscurity to become a pivotal agent for either the Atreides or the Harkonnen faction.

The expansive, ever-changing desert of Arrakis forms the backdrop for your adventures, inviting endless exploration. Each week, new areas, challenges, and rewards emerge, prompting a race among players to be the first to uncover them. In Arrakis, you can establish bases, engage in combat, explore uncharted territories, and interact with other inhabitants. Forge your legacy and ascend through the ranks in this dynamic world.
