Fans won't have to wait much longer, as developer Funcom has officially announced the PC release date: May 20. While console enthusiasts will need to be patient for their versions, everyone can get a sneak peek through the latest gameplay trailer.
What does this trailer showcase? It's packed with the quintessential elements of the Dune universe: sweeping desert landscapes, intricate base-building mechanics, intense combat sequences, and, of course, the iconic sandworms. It's everything you'd expect from a game set in the Dune world.
