Dune Awakening: New Trailer and Release Date Revealed

With the success of Denis Villeneuve's films, anticipation is high for the upcoming release of the survival MMO Dune: Awakening. The wait won't be long, as developer Funcom has officially announced that the PC version will launch on May 20. While console versions are set to follow later, fans can get a sneak peek at the action with the latest gameplay trailer.

What does the trailer showcase? Everything a true Dune enthusiast would hope for: sweeping desert landscapes, intricate base-building, intense combat sequences, and, of course, the iconic sandworms. It's a visual feast that captures the essence of the Dune universe.

In Dune: Awakening, players take on the role of a prisoner sent to the treacherous planet Arrakis. The narrative begins with an escape from captivity, leading the protagonist on a perilous journey to unravel the mystery surrounding the disappearance of the Fremen, the native inhabitants of Arrakis.

To ensure that PC players are fully prepared for the launch, Funcom has proactively released a benchmark tool and a character creator. These tools allow players to optimize their game settings and design their characters well in advance, ensuring a seamless experience when Dune: Awakening officially hits the shelves.
