Funcom has just released an enthralling new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their highly anticipated multiplayer survival game set in the iconic universe of Frank Herbert's "Dune." The latest trailer zooms in on the vast, treacherous deserts of Arrakis, providing players with a tantalizing preview of the challenges and adventures that lie ahead.
In Dune: Awakening, survival hinges on exploration. Players must traverse the dangerous dunes to collect vital resources necessary for crafting shelters and vehicles, including combat-ready ornithopters. To streamline the process of resource gathering, players can use a scanner. Additionally, deploying probes on higher ground will unveil key points of interest across the map.
These points of interest can include everything from crashed spacecraft to deserted outposts. Accessing these locations often demands creativity and resourcefulness, with tools like grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized gear becoming indispensable. All equipment can be enhanced at your base using modular components, ensuring players are well-equipped to face the perils of Arrakis.
The early access launch of Dune: Awakening is scheduled for May 20, exclusively for PC players. Console enthusiasts will have to wait a bit longer, but the promise of versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S is on the horizon. In the interim, players can dive into character creation and assess their system's performance with the benchmark tool available on Steam.
Don't miss out—Dune: Awakening will enter early access on Steam on May 20. The game's Steam page already offers a character editor and performance-testing tools. A full release will eventually extend the experience to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, bringing the rich world of Dune to a broader audience.
