Dune Awakening Trailer Showcases the Wonders of Arrakis

Funcom has released a thrilling new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their massively multiplayer online survival game set in Frank Herbert's iconic Dune universe. This latest preview 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, vehicles—including formidable ornithopters—and essential gear. A handy scanner aids in resource hunting, while deploying probes from elevated vantage points reveals crucial locations on the map.

These points of interest range from wrecked spacecraft to derelict outposts, often requiring clever use of tools like grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized equipment to reach. All gear can be upgraded 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 create their characters and test their system's performance using the benchmark tool available on the Steam page, which also features a character editor. Mark your calendars!
