Dune: Awakening announces a May release along with a new trailer.
The spice will flow in May as Funcom has revealed that Dune: Awakening is scheduled to launch on Steam on May 20th, transporting players to the unforgiving desert planet of Arrakis for an open-world multiplayer survival experience inspired by both Frank Herbert’s renowned science fiction saga and Denis Villeneuve’s blockbuster films. Check out the newly released date trailer below...
The Fremen have disappeared. Paul Atreides was never born. Lady Jessica followed the orders of the Bene Gesserit and gave birth to a daughter. Duke Leto Atreides survived the attack on Arrakeen and is now embroiled in a fierce conflict with the Harkonnen over Arrakis and its valuable spice.
In this distinctive yet recognizable interpretation of the legendary sci-fi universe of Dune, you start as a prisoner sent to Arrakis to uncover the enigma behind the Fremen’s absence. As you trace the path of the elusive desert tribe, you will discover the true essence of desert power, evolving from an unknown survivor to becoming an agent of either the Atreides or Harkonnen.
Whether alone, with friends, or alongside the hundreds of players sharing Arrakis with you, will you withstand the perilous challenges of the most dangerous planet in the universe?
Dune: Awakening is set to launch on May 20th, 2025.
