With the phenomenal success of Denis Villeneuve's films, the anticipation for the survival MMO Dune: Awakening is soaring. Fans won't have to wait much longer, as developer Funcom has officially announced the PC release date—May 20. While console versions are slated to follow later, PC enthusiasts can dive into the latest gameplay trailer right now.

The trailer showcases a vivid depiction of the desert landscapes, intricate base-building mechanics, intense combat sequences, and, of course, the iconic sandworms—everything you'd expect from a game set in the Dune universe.

In Dune: Awakening, players assume the role of a prisoner exiled to the planet Arrakis. The narrative kicks off with a daring escape from captivity, leading into a perilous quest to unravel the mystery surrounding the vanished Fremen.

To prepare PC players for the launch, Funcom has thoughtfully released a benchmark tool and a character creator. These tools enable players to optimize their settings and craft their characters ahead of time, ensuring a smooth and personalized experience when the game officially launches.
