Dune: Awakening Developers Explain Sandworm Behavior

Dune: Awakening's sandworms: a force of nature, not a player's tool. Unlike the novels, players can't summon sandworms at will using a thumper.

The developers have designed sandworms as independent NPCs with programmed patrol routes and behaviors. While you can't strategically summon a worm to attack enemies, actions like moving through the sand or using a thumper might attract their attention. However, this isn't a guaranteed method.

Riding sandworms, a key element of Freman culture in the books and films, is currently unavailable in Dune: Awakening. The developers attribute this omission to constraints imposed by the Dune film franchise.

Future updates might introduce more Freman-related content, potentially including sandworm riding. However, this remains uncertain at this time.

Dune: Awakening launches on PC May 20th, with console releases to follow.
