Dune Awakening received new trailer and official release date

With the success of Denis Villeneuve’s films, the upcoming release of the survival MMO Dune: Awakening is generating significant buzz. Fans won't have to wait much longer, as developer Funcom has officially announced the PC release date for May 20. While console versions will follow later, eager players can dive into the latest gameplay trailer right now.

The trailer showcases the iconic elements you'd expect from a Dune game: vast deserts, intricate base-building, intense combat sequences, and, of course, the awe-inspiring sandworms. It's a visual feast that promises an immersive experience on the planet Arrakis.

In Dune: Awakening, players take on the role of a prisoner sent to Arrakis. The narrative begins with an escape from captivity, leading to a perilous journey to uncover the truth behind the mysterious disappearance of the Fremen. This storyline sets the stage for a gripping adventure in the harsh desert environment.

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 and personalized experience when the game officially launches on May 20.
