The anticipation for Dune: Awakening, the upcoming survival MMO, has been amplified by the success of Denis Villeneuve's films. Fans won't have to wait much longer, as developer Funcom has officially announced that the game will launch on PC on May 20. While console versions are slated for a later release, eager players can dive into the latest gameplay trailer right now.
The trailer showcases the iconic elements fans would expect from a Dune game: expansive deserts, intricate base-building, intense combat sequences, and, of course, the awe-inspiring sandworms. These features promise an immersive experience true to the Dune universe.
In Dune: Awakening, players take on the role of a prisoner sent to the planet Arrakis. The narrative begins with the protagonist's escape from captivity, leading into a perilous journey to unravel the mystery behind the vanishing of the Fremen. This storyline adds depth and intrigue to the survival MMO experience.
To ensure PC players are fully prepared for the launch, Funcom has proactively released a benchmark tool and a character creator. These tools enable players to optimize their settings and craft their characters ahead of time, streamlining the experience when the game officially goes live on May 20.
