Funcom has recently unveiled an enthralling new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their latest multiplayer survival game set within the iconic universe of Frank Herbert's "Dune." The trailer emphasizes the vast and treacherous deserts of Arrakis, showcasing the myriad challenges and opportunities players will encounter in this immersive environment.
In Dune: Awakening, exploration is at the heart of survival. Players are tasked with navigating the perilous dunes to collect vital resources necessary for crafting essential shelters and vehicles, including combat-ready ornithopters. To streamline the resource-gathering process, players can employ a scanner. Additionally, deploying probes on higher ground can uncover key points of interest on the map, enhancing the exploration experience.
These points of interest include crashed spacecraft and abandoned outposts, which players can reach using a variety of ingenious tools such as grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized gear. All equipment is customizable and can be upgraded at the player's base using modular components, ensuring readiness for the myriad dangers that lurk in the desert.
The early access release of Dune: Awakening is scheduled for May 20, and will be exclusively available on PC. Console enthusiasts can look forward to versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S at a later date. In preparation, players can already start creating their characters and testing their system's performance with the benchmark tool available on Steam.
Don't miss out—mark your calendars! Dune: Awakening will enter early access on Steam on May 20. The game's Steam page currently offers a character editor and performance-testing tools. A full release will eventually bring this captivating experience to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, expanding the adventure to even more players.
