Funcom has unveiled an exciting new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their upcoming multiplayer survival game set in the iconic universe of Frank Herbert's "Dune." This trailer emphasizes the vast and treacherous deserts of Arrakis, showcasing the challenges and adventures that players will encounter.

In Dune: Awakening, exploration is paramount for survival. Players will need to traverse the perilous dunes to gather crucial resources necessary for crafting shelters and vehicles, including combat-ready ornithopters. To streamline resource gathering, players can use a scanner, and deploying probes on elevated terrain will help uncover vital points of interest across the map.

These points of interest include crashed spacecraft and abandoned outposts. Reaching them often requires ingenuity 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 that players are always ready to face the dangers of Arrakis.

The early access release of Dune: Awakening is scheduled for May 20, exclusively on PC. Console versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S will follow at a later date. In the meantime, players can create their characters and test system performance using the benchmark tool available on Steam.

Mark your calendars—Dune: Awakening enters early access on Steam on May 20. The game’s Steam page already features a character editor and performance-testing tools. A full release will eventually bring the experience to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, expanding the reach of this immersive survival adventure.
