Funcom has just released an enthralling new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their highly anticipated multiplayer survival game set within the iconic universe of Frank Herbert's "Dune." The latest trailer dives deep into the vast, treacherous deserts of Arrakis, showcasing the myriad challenges and exciting opportunities that players will encounter.
In Dune: Awakening, survival hinges on exploration. Players must traverse the dangerous dunes to collect vital resources needed for crafting essential shelters and vehicles, including combat-ready ornithopters. To streamline resource gathering, players can employ a scanner, and by strategically placing probes on high ground, they can uncover crucial points of interest across the map.
These points of interest vary from crashed spacecraft to deserted outposts. Accessing these locations often demands creativity and the use of specialized tools such as grappling hooks, power belts, and other unique gear. All equipment can be enhanced at your base with modular components, ensuring you're always equipped to face the perils of Arrakis.
The early access launch of Dune: Awakening is scheduled 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 the interim, players can start crafting their characters and assess their system's performance with the benchmark tool available on Steam.
Don't miss out—mark your calendars for the early access release of Dune: Awakening on Steam on May 20. The game's Steam page already offers a character editor and performance-testing tools. The full release will extend the experience to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, promising an even more immersive journey through the sands of Arrakis.
