Funcom has recently unveiled an exciting new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their eagerly anticipated multiplayer survival game set within the iconic universe of Frank Herbert's Dune. The trailer showcases the vast and treacherous deserts of Arrakis, giving players a tantalizing preview of the challenges and opportunities that lie in wait.
In Dune: Awakening, exploration is the cornerstone of survival. Players are tasked with navigating the dangerous dunes to collect vital materials necessary for crafting shelters and vehicles, such as combat-ready ornithopters. To streamline the process of resource gathering, players can employ a scanner, and by placing probes on higher ground, they can uncover key points of interest across the map.
These points of interest include everything from crashed spacecraft to abandoned outposts. Accessing these locations often demands creativity, with tools like grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized gear becoming indispensable. All equipment can be enhanced at your base using modular components, ensuring you're always equipped to tackle the perils of Arrakis.
The early access launch of Dune: Awakening is scheduled for May 20, and it will be available exclusively on PC. Console enthusiasts can look forward to versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S at a later date. In the interim, players can dive into character creation and assess their system's performance with the benchmark tool available on Steam.
Be sure to mark your calendars: Dune: Awakening will enter early access on Steam on May 20. The game's Steam page already offers a character editor and performance-testing tools. A full release will eventually extend the experience to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, bringing the vast world of Arrakis to even more players.
