With the success of Denis Villeneuve’s films, the highly anticipated survival MMO Dune: Awakening is generating significant buzz. Fans won't have to wait much longer, as developer Funcom has officially announced the PC release date for May 20. While console versions are slated for a later release, eager players can dive into the latest gameplay trailer to get a taste of what's to come.
The trailer showcases the iconic desert landscapes of Arrakis, along with base-building mechanics, intense combat sequences, and, of course, the awe-inspiring sandworms—elements that encapsulate the essence of a Dune game.
In Dune: Awakening, players take on the role of a prisoner sent to the harsh planet of Arrakis. The narrative begins with a daring escape from captivity, setting the stage for a perilous quest to unravel the mystery surrounding the vanished Fremen.
To prepare PC players for the launch, Funcom has thoughtfully released a benchmark tool and a character creator. These tools enable players to optimize their game settings and craft their characters ahead of time, ensuring a seamless experience when the game officially launches on May 20.
