Funcom has just released an enthralling new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their much-anticipated multiplayer survival game set in the iconic universe of Frank Herbert's "Dune". The trailer dives deep into the vast, treacherous deserts of Arrakis, showcasing the myriad challenges and exciting possibilities that await players in this expansive world.

In Dune: Awakening, survival hinges on exploration. Players must skillfully traverse the perilous sand dunes to collect vital resources needed to craft shelters and vehicles, such as combat-ready ornithopters. To streamline resource gathering, players can employ a scanner, and by deploying probes on higher ground, they can uncover essential points of interest scattered across the map.

These points of interest include crashed spacecraft and abandoned outposts. Accessing them often demands creative solutions, utilizing tools like grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized gear. All equipment can be enhanced at your base using modular components, ensuring that players are well-equipped to face the perils that lie ahead.

The early access release of Dune: Awakening is scheduled for May 20, and it will be exclusively available on PC. Console enthusiasts can look forward to versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S at a later date. In the interim, players can start creating their characters and testing system performance with the benchmark tool provided on Steam.

Mark your calendars—Dune: Awakening enters early access on Steam on May 20. The game's Steam page already includes a character editor and performance-testing tools. A full release will eventually bring the experience to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, ensuring a broader audience can enjoy this thrilling adventure.
