Funcom has released an exciting new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their upcoming multiplayer survival game set within the iconic universe of Frank Herbert's "Dune." The trailer highlights the vast, challenging deserts of Arrakis, giving players a taste of the adventures and trials that await them in this expansive world.
In Dune: Awakening, survival hinges on exploration. Players are tasked with traversing the treacherous dunes to collect vital resources necessary for crafting shelters and vehicles, including combat-ready ornithopters. To streamline the search for resources, players can use a scanner, and by placing probes on high ground, they can uncover important points of interest across the map.
These points of interest include everything from crashed spacecraft to deserted outposts. Accessing these locations often demands creativity, with tools such as grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized gear playing crucial roles. Players can upgrade all their equipment at their base using modular components, ensuring they are well-equipped to face the perils of Arrakis.
Dune: Awakening is slated for an early access launch on May 20, exclusively for PC. Console players on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S will have to wait a bit longer for the full release. In the interim, enthusiasts can start creating their characters and evaluate their system's performance using 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 full release will eventually extend the experience to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S platforms.
