Funcom has just released an enthralling new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their much-anticipated multiplayer survival game set within the iconic universe of Frank Herbert's "Dune." This latest trailer dives deep into the vast deserts of Arrakis, showcasing the myriad of challenges and opportunities players will encounter in this immersive world.
In Dune: Awakening, exploration is not just an adventure—it's a necessity for survival. Players will traverse the treacherous dunes in search of crucial resources needed to craft essential shelters and vehicles, including combat-ready ornithopters. To streamline the search for these resources, players can make use of a handy scanner. Moreover, by strategically placing probes on elevated terrain, players can uncover vital points of interest on the map, enhancing their chances of survival.
These points of interest span from crashed spacecraft to abandoned outposts, each offering unique rewards and challenges. Accessing these locations often demands creativity and the use of specialized tools such as grappling hooks, power belts, and other specialized gear. All of this equipment can be enhanced at your base using modular components, ensuring you're always equipped to face the perils of Arrakis.
The early access release of Dune: Awakening is scheduled for May 20, and it will be available exclusively on PC. Console enthusiasts can look forward to versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S at a later date. In the lead-up to the launch, players can get a head start by creating their characters and testing system performance with the benchmark tool available on Steam.
Don't miss out—mark your calendars for May 20, when Dune: Awakening enters early access on Steam. The game's Steam page already offers a character editor and performance-testing tools. The full release will eventually extend the experience to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, promising an even broader audience the chance to explore the sands of Arrakis.
