The anticipation for the survival MMO Dune: Awakening is soaring, thanks to the success of Denis Villeneuve's films. Developer Funcom has finally given fans a date to mark on their calendars: the game will officially launch on PC on May 20. While console enthusiasts will have to wait a bit longer, everyone can dive into the excitement with the latest gameplay trailer.
The trailer showcases the quintessential elements of the Dune universe: expansive desert landscapes, intricate base-building, intense combat sequences, and, of course, the iconic sandworms. It's everything you'd hope to see in a game set in this legendary world.
In Dune: Awakening, players take on the role of a prisoner exiled to the harsh planet of Arrakis. The narrative kicks off with a daring escape from captivity, setting the stage for a perilous journey to unravel the mystery surrounding the vanished Fremen.
To ensure PC players are fully prepared for the launch, Funcom has thoughtfully released a benchmark tool and a character creator. These tools allow players to optimize their game settings and craft their unique characters ahead of time, ensuring a smooth and personalized experience when Dune: Awakening officially hits the shelves on May 20.
