Funcom has released an enthralling new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their highly anticipated multiplayer survival game set in the iconic "Dune" universe crafted by Frank Herbert. The trailer dives deep into the vast, treacherous deserts of Arrakis, providing players with a tantalizing preview of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in this expansive world.
In Dune: Awakening, survival hinges on exploration. Players must traverse the hazardous dunes to collect vital resources needed for crafting everything from shelters to combat-ready ornithopters. To streamline resource gathering, players can employ a scanner, and by strategically placing probes on high ground, they can uncover important points of interest across the map.
These points of interest vary from crashed spacecraft to deserted outposts. Accessing these locations often demands creativity and skill, with essential tools like grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized gear playing crucial roles. All equipment can be enhanced at your base using modular components, ensuring you're always equipped to face the perils of Arrakis.
The early access launch of Dune: Awakening is scheduled for May 20, available exclusively on PC. Console enthusiasts will have to wait a bit longer, but the game will eventually make its way to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. In the lead-up to the release, players can get a head start by creating their characters and assessing system performance with the benchmark tool available on Steam.
Don't miss out—mark your calendars for the early access debut of Dune: Awakening on Steam on May 20. The game's Steam page already offers a character editor and performance-testing tools, setting the stage for an immersive experience. The full release will extend the adventure to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, promising even more excitement for fans of the "Dune" universe.
