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 showcases the vast, treacherous deserts of Arrakis, highlighting the myriad challenges and opportunities players will encounter in this expansive world.
In Dune: Awakening, exploration is at the heart of survival. Players will need to traverse the perilous dunes to collect vital resources necessary for crafting shelters and vehicles, including combat-ready ornithopters. To streamline resource gathering, players can employ a scanner, and by placing probes on high ground, they can uncover crucial points of interest across the map.
These points of interest include crashed spacecraft and abandoned outposts, which players can reach using innovative tools such as grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized gear. All equipment can be enhanced at the player's base with modular components, ensuring they are well-equipped to face the dangers of Arrakis.
The early access launch of Dune: Awakening is scheduled for May 20, exclusively on PC. Console versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S will be available following the full release. In the lead-up to the early access, 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 enter early access on Steam on May 20. The game's Steam page already offers a character editor and performance-testing tools. The full release will extend the experience to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, bringing the vast world of Arrakis to even more players.
