Dune Awakening Trailer Showcases the Wonders of Arrakis

Funcom has released a stunning new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their upcoming multiplayer survival game set in Frank Herbert's iconic Dune universe. This latest preview showcases the breathtaking, unforgiving deserts of Arrakis and hints at the thrilling challenges and rewards awaiting players.

Survival in Dune: Awakening hinges on exploration. Players must traverse the treacherous dunes, scavenging vital resources to craft shelters, vehicles—including formidable ornithopters—and essential gear. A built-in scanner simplifies resource hunting, while deploying probes from elevated vantage points reveals crucial points of interest on the map.

These points of interest range from wrecked spacecraft to forgotten outposts, often requiring clever use of tools like grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized equipment to reach. All gear is upgradeable at your base using modular components, ensuring you're always prepared for the harsh realities of Arrakis.

Dune: Awakening enters early access on PC via Steam on May 20th. Console versions (PS5 and Xbox Series X/S) will follow at a later date. In the meantime, players can create their characters and test system performance using the benchmark tool available on the Steam page. Mark your calendars—the adventure begins May 20th!
