Funcom has unveiled an exciting new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their highly anticipated multiplayer survival game set within the iconic universe of Frank Herbert's "Dune." The latest trailer dives deep into the vast, treacherous deserts of Arrakis, showcasing the myriad challenges and thrilling opportunities players will encounter in this immersive world.

In Dune: Awakening, survival hinges on exploration. Players will navigate the dangerous dunes to gather vital resources necessary for crafting shelters and vehicles, including battle-ready ornithopters. To streamline resource gathering, players can employ a scanner, and by strategically placing probes on elevated terrain, they can uncover crucial points of interest across the map.

These points of interest include crashed spacecraft and abandoned outposts, each offering unique rewards and challenges. Accessing these locations often demands creative solutions, with tools like grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized gear proving indispensable. All equipment can be enhanced at your base using modular components, ensuring you're always ready to face the perils of Arrakis.

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

Mark your calendars—Dune: Awakening enters early access on Steam on May 20. The game's Steam page already offers a character editor and performance-testing tools. A full release will eventually bring the experience to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, expanding the adventure to even more players.
