With the stellar success of Denis Villeneuve's cinematic adaptations, anticipation is sky-high for the upcoming survival MMO, Dune: Awakening. Thankfully, the wait is almost over, as developer Funcom has set the official PC release date for May 20. While console enthusiasts will need to hold on a bit longer, everyone can get a taste of what's to come with the latest gameplay trailer.
The trailer showcases the iconic desert landscapes, intricate base-building mechanics, thrilling combat sequences, and, of course, the awe-inspiring sandworms—everything you'd anticipate from a game set in the Dune universe.
In Dune: Awakening, you step into the shoes of a prisoner exiled to the treacherous planet of Arrakis. Your journey starts with a daring escape from captivity, setting you on a perilous quest to unravel the mystery behind the vanishing of the Fremen.
To ensure PC gamers are fully prepared for the launch, Funcom has already made available a benchmark tool and a character creator. These tools allow players to optimize their system settings and craft their characters ahead of time, streamlining the process once the game goes live.
