Dune: Awakening survival MMO is set to launch in May, but players can now begin crafting their characters ahead of the official release. Read on to discover more about what's available and what to expect before the game goes live.

Dune: Awakening MMO Character Creation Now Open

Game Launches On May 20th

With the Character Creator, you can personalize every detail of your character’s appearance. You’ll also choose your home planet, caste, and select a mentor or class. These customized characters will carry over seamlessly into the full game upon launch. Plus, those who create a character early will receive an exclusive Frameblade knife skin, redeemable at launch using a unique code.

The Benchmark Mode allows players to test their PC hardware performance by simulating key gameplay scenarios. The benchmark guides players through a player-built base in the desert, transitions to the lively Harko Village, and ends with a dramatic encounter against a massive sandworm. This helps ensure your system runs the game smoothly by adjusting graphics settings for optimal performance.

Priced at USD $49.99, Dune: Awakening will soon be available for pre-order on Steam. Pre-orders include a special in-game decoration called the Terrarium of Muad’Dib, featuring the beloved desert kangaroo mouse from the Dune universe.
