Funcom has unveiled an enthralling new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their highly anticipated multiplayer survival game set within the iconic "Dune" universe crafted by Frank Herbert. The latest trailer spotlights the vast, treacherous deserts of Arrakis, giving players a taste of the challenges and opportunities that lie in wait.
In Dune: Awakening, exploration is at the heart of survival. Players are tasked with traversing the perilous dunes to collect vital materials necessary for constructing shelters and crafting vehicles, such as combat-ready ornithopters. To streamline resource gathering, players can use a scanner, and deploying probes on higher ground will uncover essential points of interest scattered across the map.
These points of interest vary from crashed spacecraft to abandoned outposts. Accessing these locations often demands creativity, with tools like grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized gear playing a crucial role. All equipment can be enhanced at your base using modular components, ensuring players are always ready to face the dangers that Arrakis presents.
The early access release of Dune: Awakening is slated for May 20, available exclusively on PC. Console enthusiasts can look forward to versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S at a later date. In preparation, players can now create their characters and assess system performance with the benchmark tool accessible on Steam.
Mark your calendars—Dune: Awakening will enter early access on Steam on May 20. The game's Steam page already boasts a character editor and performance-testing tools. A full release will extend the adventure to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, promising an immersive experience across all platforms.
