With the triumph of Denis Villeneuve's films, anticipation is building for the upcoming survival MMO, Dune: Awakening. The excitement is palpable as developer Funcom has set the official PC release date for May 20. While console enthusiasts will have to wait a bit longer, everyone can get a taste of what's to come with the latest gameplay trailer.
What does the trailer showcase? It's all there: the expansive deserts of Arrakis, intricate base-building mechanics, thrilling combat sequences, and, of course, the iconic sandworms—everything you'd expect from a game set in the Dune universe.
In Dune: Awakening, players take on the role of a prisoner exiled to the harsh planet of Arrakis. The narrative begins with a daring escape from captivity, leading into a perilous quest to unravel the mystery behind the vanished Fremen.
To prepare PC players for the launch, Funcom has thoughtfully released a benchmark tool alongside a character creator. This allows gamers to optimize their settings and craft their characters ahead of time, ensuring a smooth start when the game goes live on May 20.
