With the success of Denis Villeneuve’s films, the highly anticipated survival MMO Dune: Awakening is capturing a lot of attention. The wait is almost over as developer Funcom has officially announced the PC release date—May 20. While console versions will follow later, PC gamers can get a glimpse of what's in store with the latest gameplay trailer.
The trailer showcases the iconic elements of the Dune universe: sweeping desert landscapes, intricate base-building mechanics, intense combat sequences, and, of course, the awe-inspiring sandworms. It's everything you'd expect and more from a game set in the Dune world.
In Dune: Awakening, players take on the role of a prisoner sent to the treacherous planet Arrakis. The adventure begins with a daring escape from captivity, leading into a perilous journey to unravel the mystery behind the vanished Fremen. This gripping narrative promises to keep players engaged from the start.
To ensure PC players are fully prepared for the launch, Funcom has already released a benchmark tool and a character creator. These tools allow players to optimize their settings and craft their characters ahead of time, ensuring a smooth start when the game officially drops on May 20.
