Dune Awakening received new trailer and official release date

The buzz around Denis Villeneuve’s films has set the stage for the much-anticipated survival MMO, *Dune: Awakening*. Mark your calendars—developer Funcom has officially announced that the PC version will launch on May 20. While console gamers will have to wait a bit longer, everyone can get a taste of what’s coming with the latest gameplay trailer.

What does the trailer showcase? It’s packed with the quintessential Dune elements: vast deserts, intricate base-building, intense combat sequences, and, of course, the iconic sandworms. It’s everything you’d hope to see in a game set in the Dune universe.

In *Dune: Awakening*, you step into the shoes of a prisoner who finds themselves on the harsh planet of Arrakis. Your adventure kicks off with a daring escape from captivity, leading you on a perilous journey to unravel the mystery behind the vanished Fremen.

To ensure that PC players are fully prepared for the launch, Funcom has already made available a benchmark tool and a character creator. These tools enable players to optimize their game settings and craft their characters ahead of time, ensuring a smooth and personalized experience when *Dune: Awakening* officially hits the shelves.
