Funcom has released an enthralling new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their upcoming multiplayer survival game set in the iconic universe of Frank Herbert's "Dune." The trailer highlights the vast, treacherous deserts of Arrakis, showcasing the myriad challenges and opportunities players will encounter.
In Dune: Awakening, exploration is at the heart of survival. Players must traverse the dangerous dunes to collect vital resources needed for crafting shelters and vehicles, including combat-ready ornithopters. To streamline resource gathering, players can use a scanner, and by placing probes on high ground, they can uncover key points of interest across the map.
These points of interest include crashed spacecraft and abandoned outposts. Accessing these locations often demands creativity and the use of specialized tools such as grappling hooks, power belts, and other gear. All equipment can be enhanced at the player's base with modular components, ensuring readiness for the perils of Arrakis.
The early access launch of Dune: Awakening is scheduled for May 20, exclusively for PC. Console versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S will be available following the full release. In the interim, players can start creating their characters and assess their system's performance with the benchmark tool available on Steam.
Don't miss out—Dune: Awakening will be available in early access on Steam starting May 20. The game's Steam page already offers a character editor and performance-testing tools. The complete release will extend the experience to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
