Dune Awakening: Release Date & New Trailer Revealed

The highly anticipated survival MMO, Dune: Awakening, is set to launch on PC on May 20th, capitalizing on the recent success of Denis Villeneuve's film adaptations. Developer Funcom's announcement confirms this eagerly awaited release date, with console versions to follow. A new gameplay trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse of what awaits players.

The trailer showcases the iconic desert landscapes, intense combat sequences, base-building mechanics, and of course, the terrifying sandworms—all essential elements of the Dune universe.

Players will take on the role of a prisoner stranded on Arrakis, embarking on a perilous journey to escape captivity and unravel the mystery surrounding the vanished Fremen.

To ensure a smooth launch, Funcom has proactively released a benchmark tool and a character creator. This allows PC players to optimize their in-game settings and meticulously craft their characters before launch day, maximizing their playtime from the moment the game begins.
