Funcom has just released an enthralling new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their much-anticipated multiplayer survival game set within the iconic universe of Frank Herbert's "Dune." The latest trailer spotlights the vast, treacherous deserts of Arrakis, giving players a tantalizing preview of the challenges and adventures that lie ahead.
In Dune: Awakening, exploration is not just a part of the game—it's essential for survival. Players will need to skillfully navigate the perilous dunes to collect crucial resources necessary for crafting shelters and vehicles, including the iconic combat-ready ornithopters. To streamline resource gathering, players can employ a scanner, and by strategically placing probes on high ground, they can uncover key points of interest scattered across the map.
These points of interest vary from crashed spacecraft to abandoned outposts, each holding potential rewards and secrets. Reaching these locations often demands creativity and the right tools, such as grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized gear. All equipment can be enhanced at your base with modular components, ensuring you're always equipped to face the perils of Arrakis.
The early access release of Dune: Awakening is scheduled for May 20, and it will be available exclusively on PC. Console enthusiasts can look forward to versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S at a later date. In the interim, eager players can dive in early by creating their characters and testing their system's performance with the benchmark tool available on Steam.
Don't miss out—mark your calendars for May 20, when Dune: Awakening enters early access on Steam. The game's page already offers a character editor and performance-testing tools to help you prepare. A full release will extend the experience to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, promising even more adventures on the sands of Arrakis.
