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 trailer emphasizes the vast, treacherous deserts of Arrakis, showcasing the myriad challenges and exciting opportunities players will encounter.
In Dune: Awakening, exploration is not just a feature—it's a lifeline. Players are tasked with traversing the perilous dunes of Arrakis to collect vital resources needed for crafting essential shelters and vehicles, including combat-ready ornithopters. To streamline the resource gathering process, players can employ a scanner. Additionally, deploying probes on high ground can uncover crucial points of interest scattered across the map.
These points of interest vary from crashed spacecraft to abandoned outposts, each offering unique rewards and challenges. Accessing these locations often demands creativity and the use of specialized tools such as grappling hooks, power belts, and other advanced gear. All equipment can be enhanced at your base using modular components, ensuring you're always ready to face the unpredictable dangers of Arrakis.
The early access launch of Dune: Awakening is scheduled for May 20, available exclusively on PC. Console enthusiasts won't have to wait too long, as versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S will be released subsequently. In the interim, players can get a head start by creating their characters and evaluating 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 is already live, featuring a character editor and performance-testing tools. The full release will extend the adventure to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, promising an even more immersive experience in the Dune universe.
