Denis Villeneuve's successful Dune films have generated significant excitement for the upcoming survival MMO, Dune: Awakening. The wait is almost over! Developer Funcom has announced the official PC release date: May 20th. Console players will need to wait a bit longer, but for now, a new gameplay trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse of what's to come.
The trailer showcases the iconic desert landscape, base-building mechanics, thrilling combat sequences, and, of course, the terrifying sandworms—all the hallmarks of a true Dune experience.
Players will take on the role of a prisoner exiled to the harsh planet Arrakis. Their journey begins with a desperate escape from captivity, leading them on a perilous quest to uncover the mystery surrounding the disappearance of the Fremen.
To ensure a smooth launch for PC players, Funcom has proactively released a benchmark tool and a character creator. This allows players to optimize their in-game settings and design their characters ahead of time, minimizing delays on launch day.
