Funcom has released a thrilling new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their upcoming multiplayer survival game set in Frank Herbert's iconic Dune universe. This latest preview showcases the vast, unforgiving deserts of Arrakis, highlighting the challenges and rewards that await players.
Survival in Dune: Awakening hinges on exploration. Players must traverse the treacherous dunes, scavenging vital resources to construct shelters and vehicles, including powerful combat ornithopters. A built-in scanner simplifies resource gathering, 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 navigation and the strategic use of tools like grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized gear. All equipment is upgradeable at your base using modular components, allowing for continuous adaptation to the ever-present dangers.
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. Players can begin preparing now by creating their characters and benchmarking their system performance using tools available on the Steam page.
