Funcom has just released an exciting new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their highly anticipated multiplayer survival game set within the iconic "Dune" universe crafted by Frank Herbert. The trailer zeroes in on the vast, challenging deserts of Arrakis, providing players with a vivid preview of the trials and opportunities that await in this expansive world.
In Dune: Awakening, exploration is the cornerstone of survival. Players will need to traverse the treacherous dunes to collect crucial materials necessary for constructing shelters and vehicles, including combat-ready ornithopters. To streamline the search for resources, players can employ a scanner, and placing probes on high ground will uncover vital points of interest across the map.
These points of interest include everything from crashed spacecraft to deserted outposts. Accessing these areas often calls for creative problem-solving, with tools such as grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized gear being indispensable. All equipment can be enhanced at your base using modular components, ensuring you're always ready to face whatever dangers Arrakis throws at you.
The early access version of Dune: Awakening is slated to launch on May 20, exclusively for PC players. Console enthusiasts can look forward to versions on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S at a later date. In the lead-up to the release, players can dive into character creation and assess their system's performance with the benchmark tool available on Steam.
Make sure to mark your calendars: Dune: Awakening will be available in early access on Steam starting May 20. The game's Steam page already includes a character editor and performance-testing tools. The full release will eventually extend the experience to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, ensuring a broader audience can immerse themselves in the rich world of Arrakis.
