Dune Awakening Trailer Showcases the Wonders of Arrakis

Funcom has released a thrilling new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their upcoming multiplayer survival game set in Frank Herbert's iconic Dune universe. This latest preview showcases the vast, unforgiving deserts of Arrakis, highlighting the challenges and rewards awaiting players.

Survival in Dune: Awakening hinges on exploration. Players must traverse the treacherous dunes, scavenging vital resources to construct shelters and vehicles, including formidable ornithopters. A built-in scanner simplifies resource hunting, while deploying probes from high vantage points reveals crucial locations on the map.

These points of interest range from wrecked spacecraft to deserted outposts, often requiring clever navigation and the strategic use of tools like grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized gear. All equipment is upgradeable at your base using modular components, allowing for continuous adaptation to the harsh environment and its dangers.

Dune: Awakening enters early access on PC via Steam on May 20th. Console versions (PS5 and Xbox Series X/S) will follow at a later date. In the meantime, players can create their characters and test system performance using the benchmark tool available on the Steam page. The game's Steam page also features a character creator and performance testing tools. Prepare for adventure!
