Funcom has unveiled an enthralling new trailer for *Dune: Awakening*, their upcoming multiplayer survival game set in the iconic universe of Frank Herbert's "Dune". The trailer focuses on the vast, treacherous deserts of Arrakis, providing players with an exciting glimpse into the challenges and opportunities they will encounter.
In *Dune: Awakening*, exploration is the cornerstone of survival. Players must traverse the perilous dunes to collect vital materials needed for crafting essential shelters and vehicles, such as combat-ready ornithopters. To streamline resource gathering, players can use a scanner, and by deploying probes on elevated terrain, they can uncover crucial points of interest across the map.
These points of interest vary from crashed spacecraft to abandoned outposts. Accessing these locations often demands creativity, with tools like grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized gear proving indispensable. All equipment can be enhanced at your base with modular components, ensuring you're well-equipped to face the myriad dangers of Arrakis.
The early access release of *Dune: Awakening* is slated for May 20, available exclusively on PC. Console enthusiasts can look forward to versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S at a later date. In preparation, players can start creating their characters and assess system performance with the benchmark tool available on Steam.
Mark your calendars: *Dune: Awakening* will enter early access on Steam on May 20. The game's Steam page already includes a character editor and performance-testing tools. The full release will extend the experience to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, promising an immersive journey into the world of Dune.
