Funcom has released a stunning new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their upcoming multiplayer survival game set in Frank Herbert's iconic Dune universe. This trailer showcases the breathtaking, expansive deserts of Arrakis, highlighting the challenges and rewards that await players.
Survival in Dune: Awakening hinges on exploration. Players must traverse the treacherous dunes, scavenging vital resources to craft shelters and vehicles, including powerful combat ornithopters. A handy scanner helps locate resources, while deploying probes from high vantage points reveals key locations on the map.
These points of interest include everything from wrecked spacecraft to deserted outposts. Reaching them often demands creativity and the strategic use of tools like grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized gear. All equipment is upgradeable at your base using modular components, ensuring you're always prepared for the harsh environment.
Dune: Awakening enters early access on PC via Steam on May 20th. Console versions (PS5 and Xbox Series X/S) will follow at a later date. In the meantime, players can create their characters and test their system's performance using the benchmark tool available on the Steam page. The Steam page also features a character editor. Mark your calendars for May 20th!
