Funcom has recently released an enthralling new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their eagerly awaited multiplayer survival game set within the iconic universe of Frank Herbert's "Dune." The trailer showcases the vast, treacherous deserts of Arrakis, providing players with a sneak peek at the myriad challenges and exciting opportunities that lie in store.
In Dune: Awakening, exploration is not just an activity—it's a necessity for survival. Players will find themselves navigating the perilous dunes of Arrakis, gathering essential materials critical for crafting shelters and vehicles, including battle-ready ornithopters. To streamline resource gathering, players can use a scanner, and by deploying probes on elevated terrain, they can uncover crucial points of interest across the expansive map.
These points of interest vary from crashed spacecraft to abandoned outposts, each offering unique resources and potential dangers. Accessing these locations often demands creativity and the right tools, such as grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized gear. All equipment can be upgraded at the player's base using modular components, ensuring readiness for the ever-present threats of Arrakis.
The early access release of Dune: Awakening is scheduled for May 20, available exclusively on PC. Console enthusiasts can look forward to versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, which will be released at a later date. In the meantime, players can get a head start by creating their characters and evaluating system performance with the benchmark tool available on Steam.
Be sure to mark your calendars: Dune: Awakening will launch into early access on Steam on May 20. The game's Steam page already includes a character editor and performance-testing tools, setting the stage for an immersive experience. The full release will eventually bring the adventure to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, expanding the reach of this thrilling survival game.
