Funcom has unveiled an exciting new trailer for Dune: Awakening, their upcoming multiplayer survival game set in the iconic universe of Frank Herbert's "Dune." The latest trailer dives deep into the expansive deserts of Arrakis, showcasing the thrilling challenges and unique opportunities that await players.

In Dune: Awakening, survival hinges on exploration. Players will navigate the treacherous dunes to collect vital resources necessary for crafting essential shelters and vehicles, including combat-ready ornithopters. To streamline resource gathering, players can employ a scanner and deploy probes on elevated terrain to uncover crucial points of interest across the map.

These points of interest include crashed spacecraft and abandoned outposts. Accessing these locations often demands creativity, with tools such as grappling hooks, power belts, and specialized gear playing a pivotal role. All equipment can be enhanced at the player's base using modular components, ensuring they'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 versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S will be available following the full release. In the interim, players can dive into character creation and assess system performance using the benchmark tool accessible 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, setting the stage for an immersive experience. Stay tuned for the full release, which will extend the adventure to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
