Funcom has just released an enthralling new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their highly anticipated multiplayer survival game set in the iconic universe of Frank Herbert's "Dune." The latest trailer dives deep into the vast, unforgiving deserts of Arrakis, giving players a tantalizing preview of the trials and treasures they'll encounter.
In Dune: Awakening, survival hinges on exploration. Players are tasked with traversing the treacherous dunes to collect vital resources needed for building shelters and crafting essential vehicles, such as the combat-ready ornithopters. To streamline the resource-gathering process, players can employ a handy scanner. Additionally, placing probes on high ground helps uncover crucial points of interest across the map.
These points of interest can vary from crashed spacecraft to deserted outposts. Accessing these locations often demands creativity and the strategic use of various tools, including grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized gear. All equipment can be enhanced at your base with modular components, ensuring you're always equipped to face the perils of Arrakis.
The early access launch of Dune: Awakening is slated for May 20, and it will be available exclusively on PC. Console enthusiasts will have to wait a bit longer, but rest assured, versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S are on the horizon. In the meantime, eager players can start crafting their characters and gauge their system's performance with the benchmark tool, which is now accessible on Steam.
Don't miss out—mark your calendars! Dune: Awakening will enter early access on Steam starting May 20. The game's Steam page already boasts a character editor and performance-testing tools. Once the game reaches its full release, players on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S will finally get to experience the adventure of a lifetime on Arrakis.
