Funcom has unveiled an exciting new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their highly anticipated multiplayer survival game set in the iconic universe of Frank Herbert's "Dune". The trailer focuses on the vast and treacherous deserts of Arrakis, giving players a sneak peek into the myriad challenges and thrilling opportunities that await them in this expansive world.
In Dune: Awakening, survival hinges on exploration. Players must traverse the perilous dunes to collect vital resources needed for crafting shelters and vehicles, such as combat-ready ornithopters. To streamline the search for resources, players can employ a scanner, and by deploying probes on high ground, they can uncover crucial points of interest scattered across the map.
These points of interest vary from crashed spacecraft to deserted outposts. Accessing these locations often requires creativity and the right tools, including grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized gear. All of these can be enhanced at the player's base using modular components, ensuring they're always equipped to face the perils of Arrakis.
The early access release of Dune: Awakening is slated for May 20, available exclusively on PC. Console enthusiasts won't be left behind, with versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S coming later. In the lead-up to the early access launch, players can create their characters and assess system compatibility using 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 adventure to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, bringing the epic world of Dune to an even broader audience.
