Dune Awakening received new trailer and official release date

The upcoming survival MMO, Dune: Awakening, is generating significant buzz, fueled by the success of Denis Villeneuve's film adaptations. Developer Funcom has confirmed a May 20th PC release date, with console versions to follow. A new gameplay trailer offers a glimpse into the game's features.

The trailer showcases the harsh desert environment, base-building mechanics, intense combat, and the iconic sandworms—all essential elements of a true Dune experience.

Players will assume the role of a prisoner on Arrakis, beginning their journey with an escape from captivity and a perilous quest to unravel the mystery surrounding the vanished Fremen.

To prepare for launch, Funcom has proactively released a benchmark tool and a character creator. This allows PC players to optimize their in-game settings and craft their characters ahead of time, ensuring a smoother launch day experience.
