The highly anticipated survival MMO, Dune: Awakening, is set to launch on PC May 20th, following the success of Denis Villeneuve's film adaptations. Developer Funcom has confirmed the date, and while console releases will follow, PC gamers can now view the latest gameplay trailer.
The trailer showcases the game's core elements: the harsh Arrakisian desert, extensive base-building mechanics, intense combat encounters, and the iconic sandworms. It's everything a Dune fan could hope for.
Players will assume the role of a prisoner on Arrakis, beginning their journey with an escape and a perilous quest to unravel the mystery surrounding the vanished Fremen.
To prepare for launch day, Funcom has proactively released a benchmark tool and a character creator. This allows players to optimize their in-game settings and craft their characters ahead of time, ensuring a smoother launch experience.
