Funcom has recently released an enthralling new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their highly anticipated multiplayer survival game set within the iconic universe of Frank Herbert's "Dune." The latest trailer dives deep into the vast deserts of Arrakis, showcasing the myriad challenges and opportunities that players will encounter in this expansive world.
In Dune: Awakening, survival hinges on exploration. Players must traverse the treacherous dunes to collect vital resources necessary for constructing 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 scattered across the map.
These points of interest include crashed spacecraft and deserted outposts, which offer valuable loot. Reaching these locations often demands creative problem-solving, utilizing tools such as grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized gear. All equipment can be enhanced at your base with modular components, ensuring you're always equipped to face the perils of Arrakis.
Dune: Awakening is set to launch in early access on May 20, exclusively for PC players. Console enthusiasts can look forward to versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S at a later date. In the lead-up to the release, players can start customizing their characters and check their system's performance using the benchmark tool available on Steam.
Be sure to mark your calendars: Dune: Awakening will be available in early access on Steam starting May 20. The game's Steam page already includes a character editor and performance-testing tools. The full release will extend the experience to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, promising an even more immersive journey into the world of Dune.
