Funcom has unveiled an enthralling new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their highly anticipated multiplayer survival game set within the iconic "Dune" universe crafted by Frank Herbert. The latest trailer delves deep into the vast, treacherous deserts of Arrakis, showcasing the myriad challenges and thrilling opportunities that await eager adventurers.
In Dune: Awakening, exploration is at the heart of survival. Players must master the art of navigating the perilous dunes to collect crucial resources needed for crafting essential shelters and vehicles, including combat-ready ornithopters. To streamline resource gathering, players can rely on a scanner, while deploying probes on high ground will unveil key points of interest across the map.
These points of interest vary from crashed spacecraft to abandoned outposts, each presenting unique opportunities and challenges. Reaching these locations often demands ingenuity, with tools such as grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized gear playing a pivotal role in exploration. All equipment can be enhanced at your base using modular components, ensuring you're always well-equipped to face the dangers lurking on Arrakis.
The early access release of Dune: Awakening is scheduled for May 20, exclusively for PC. Console enthusiasts can look forward to future releases on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. In the lead-up to the launch, players can dive into the game by creating their characters and testing system performance with the benchmark tool available on Steam.
Mark your calendars: Dune: Awakening enters early access on Steam on May 20. The game's Steam page already offers a character editor and performance-testing tools, setting the stage for an immersive experience. The full release will expand the adventure to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, bringing the world of Dune to a broader audience.
