Dune: Awakening — Release Date, Early Acces, Editions, Prices, Platforms

Dune: Awakening is an ambitious upcoming multiplayer survival MMO set in the iconic and unforgiving world of Frank Herbert’s Dune. Developed by Funcom, the studio behind Conan Exiles, this title merges classic survival mechanics with deep political strategy and exploration on the desert planet of Arrakis.
Welcome to Arrakis: Dune: Awakening Overview
Set in an alternate timeline where Paul Atreides was never born, Dune: Awakening places players in the middle of a planetary civil war between House Atreides and House Harkonnen, while the native Fremen have mysteriously vanished. You’ll assume the role of a covert agent for the Bene Gesserit, tasked with uncovering the fate of the Fremen and navigating the complex web of interstellar politics.
Survival is at the core of gameplay. Players must manage critical resources like water, construct shelters to withstand brutal sandstorms, and evade the ever-present threat of giant sandworms. The game features both PvE and PvP elements, allowing players to engage in combat, form alliances, and compete for control over territory and resources. As players develop, they’ll align with factions, join large-scale battles, and make political decisions that shape the evolving game world.
