Funcom has released a thrilling new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their upcoming multiplayer survival game set in Frank Herbert's iconic Dune universe. This latest preview showcases the vast, unforgiving deserts of Arrakis, highlighting the perilous journey and exciting possibilities that await players.

Survival in Dune: Awakening hinges on exploration. Players must traverse the treacherous dunes, scavenging vital resources to craft shelters and vehicles, including formidable ornithopters for combat. A handy scanner aids in resource gathering, while deploying probes from elevated positions unveils crucial points of interest across the map.

These points of interest range from wrecked spacecraft to deserted outposts, often requiring clever navigation and the use of specialized tools. Grappling hooks, power belts, and other advanced gear prove invaluable in reaching these locations. All equipment is upgradeable at your base using modular components, ensuring you're always ready for the challenges ahead.

Dune: Awakening enters early access on PC via Steam on May 20th. Console versions (PS5 and Xbox Series X/S) will follow at a later date. In the meantime, players can create their characters and assess system performance using the benchmark tool available on the Steam page. The Steam page also features a character editor. Prepare for Arrakis!
