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 awaits.
The trailer showcases the game's key features: the harsh Arrakis desert landscape, extensive base-building mechanics, thrilling combat encounters, and, of course, the iconic sandworms. It's everything a Dune fan could hope for.
Players will step into the boots of a prisoner on Arrakis, beginning their journey with a daring escape and a perilous quest to unravel the mystery surrounding a missing Fremen tribe.
To ensure a smooth launch, Funcom has proactively released a benchmark tool and a character creator. This allows PC players to optimize their graphics settings and craft their characters ahead of time, streamlining the launch day experience.
