Funcom has released an enthralling new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their upcoming multiplayer survival game set within the iconic universe of Frank Herbert's "Dune." The latest trailer emphasizes the vast, treacherous deserts of Arrakis, providing a tantalizing peek at the myriad challenges and opportunities that players will encounter.
In Dune: Awakening, exploration is at the heart of survival. Players are tasked with traversing the daunting dunes to collect vital resources necessary for crafting shelters and vehicles, such as the combat-capable ornithopters. To streamline resource gathering, players can employ a scanner. Additionally, deploying probes on higher ground will uncover essential points of interest scattered across the map.
These points of interest vary from crashed spacecraft to deserted outposts. Accessing them often demands creativity and resourcefulness, with tools like grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized gear being indispensable. All equipment can be enhanced at your base using 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 preparation, players can now create their characters and assess system 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 broader audience the chance to immerse themselves in the world of Dune.
