With the success of Denis Villeneuve's films, the anticipation for the upcoming survival MMO, Dune: Awakening, is soaring. Fans won't have to wait much longer, as developer Funcom has officially announced the PC release date—May 20. While console versions will follow later, PC gamers can dive into the latest gameplay trailer to get a taste of what's to come.
The trailer showcases a thrilling glimpse into the world of Arrakis, featuring the vast desert landscapes, intricate base-building mechanics, intense combat sequences, and, of course, the iconic sandworms—everything you'd expect from a game set in the Dune universe.
In Dune: Awakening, players take on the role of a protagonist who starts as a prisoner on the planet Arrakis. The adventure kicks off with an escape from captivity, leading to a perilous journey to unravel the mystery surrounding the disappearance of the Fremen.
To prepare PC players for the launch, Funcom has thoughtfully released a benchmark tool and a character creator. These tools allow players to optimize their settings and craft their characters ahead of time, ensuring a seamless experience when the game officially launches.
