The highly anticipated survival MMO, Dune: Awakening, is set to launch on PC May 20th, capitalizing on the recent success of Denis Villeneuve's acclaimed film adaptations. Developer Funcom's announcement confirms this eagerly awaited release date, with console versions to follow. A new gameplay trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse of what awaits players.
Expect the familiar breathtaking desert landscapes, intense combat encounters, the crucial element of base-building, and of course, the awe-inspiring sandworms—all quintessential elements of the Dune universe.
Players will step into the boots of a prisoner exiled to the harsh planet of Arrakis. The narrative unfolds as they escape captivity and embark on a perilous journey to unravel the mystery surrounding the vanished Fremen.
To ensure a smooth launch, Funcom has proactively released a benchmark tool and character creator. This allows PC players to optimize their in-game settings and meticulously craft their avatars before the game's official release, minimizing any delays on launch day.
