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 glimpse of what's to come.
The trailer showcases the game's key features: the harsh Arrakis desert landscape, extensive base-building mechanics, thrilling combat encounters, and the iconic sandworms. It's everything a Dune fan could hope for.
Players will take on the role of a prisoner on Arrakis, beginning their journey with an escape from captivity and a perilous quest to unravel the mystery surrounding the vanished Fremen.
To prepare for launch day, Funcom has thoughtfully provided a benchmark tool and a character creator. This allows PC players to optimize their game settings and create their avatars ahead of time, ensuring a smooth and seamless launch experience.
