The anticipation for Dune: Awakening, the survival MMO based on Denis Villeneuve's acclaimed films, is reaching fever pitch. Funcom has confirmed the PC launch date: May 20th. Console players will need to wait a bit longer, but the recently released gameplay trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse of what's to come.
The trailer showcases the game's key elements: the harsh Arrakis desert landscape, extensive base-building mechanics, intense combat encounters, and the iconic sandworms. Everything a Dune fan could hope for.
Players will take on the role of a prisoner on Arrakis, beginning their journey with an escape from captivity and a perilous quest to unravel the mystery surrounding the vanished Fremen.
To prepare for launch day, Funcom has thoughtfully provided a benchmark tool and a character creator. This allows PC players to optimize their in-game settings and craft their perfect character ahead of time, ensuring a smooth launch experience.
