Dune Awakening Trailer Showcases the Wonders of Arrakis

Funcom has released a thrilling new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their upcoming multiplayer survival game set in Frank Herbert's iconic Dune universe. This latest preview showcases the breathtaking, expansive deserts of Arrakis and hints at the thrilling challenges and rewards awaiting players.

Survival in Dune: Awakening hinges on exploration. Players must traverse the treacherous dunes, scavenging vital resources to craft shelters, vehicles—including formidable ornithopters—and essential equipment. A handy scanner assists in resource gathering, while deploying probes from elevated vantage points reveals crucial points of interest on the map.

These points of interest range from wrecked spacecraft to forgotten outposts, often requiring clever navigation 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 ready for the harsh realities of Arrakis.

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 begin creating their characters and test their system's performance using the benchmark tool available on the Steam page. The Steam page also features a character creator and performance testing tools. Prepare for the harsh realities of Arrakis!
