Funcom has just released an enthralling new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their highly anticipated multiplayer survival game set within the iconic universe of Frank Herbert's "Dune." The latest trailer dives deep into the vast, treacherous deserts of Arrakis, showcasing the myriad challenges and exciting opportunities that players will encounter.
In Dune: Awakening, exploration is not just an option—it's essential for survival. Players will need to traverse the perilous dunes to collect vital resources necessary for crafting shelters and vehicles, including the combat-ready ornithopters. To streamline the resource-gathering process, players can employ a scanner, and by strategically placing probes on high ground, they can uncover crucial points of interest across the map.
These points of interest vary from crashed spacecraft to abandoned outposts, each offering unique rewards and challenges. Reaching these locations often demands creativity and the right tools, such as grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized gear. All equipment can be enhanced at your base using modular components, ensuring you're always equipped to face the dangers 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 start creating their characters and test their system's 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 extend the experience to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, promising an even more immersive journey through the sands of Arrakis.
