Dune Awakening Unveils Gameplay and Sets Release Window

The upcoming survival MMO, Dune: Awakening, based on Denis Villeneuve's successful film adaptations, is generating significant buzz. Developer Funcom has confirmed a May 20th PC release date, with console versions to follow. A new gameplay trailer showcases the game's key features.

The trailer highlights the harsh Arrakisian desert landscape, extensive base-building mechanics, intense combat encounters, and the iconic sandworms—all essential elements of a true Dune experience.

Players will assume the role of a prisoner on Arrakis, tasked with escaping and uncovering the mystery surrounding the vanished Fremen.

To prepare for launch, Funcom has proactively released a benchmark tool and a character creator. This pre-launch access allows players to optimize their in-game settings and meticulously craft their avatars, ensuring a smoother launch day experience.
