The anticipation for Dune: Awakening, the survival MMO based on Denis Villeneuve's acclaimed films, is reaching fever pitch. Funcom has confirmed the PC launch date: May 20th! Console players will need to wait a bit longer, but the recently released gameplay trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse of what's to come.
The trailer showcases the game's key elements: the harsh Arrakis desert landscape, extensive base-building mechanics, thrilling combat encounters, and the iconic sandworms. It's everything a Dune fan could hope for.
Players will step into the boots of a prisoner exiled to Arrakis. Their journey begins with a daring escape, leading to a perilous quest to unravel the mystery surrounding the vanished Fremen.
To ensure a smooth launch, Funcom has proactively released a benchmark tool and a character creator. This allows PC players to optimize their settings and craft their avatars beforehand, maximizing their playtime once the game is live.
