The spice will flow in May as Funcom has announced that Dune: Awakening is set to launch on Steam on May 20th, sending players to the harsh desert planet of Arrakis for an open-world multiplayer survival experience that will draw from both Frank Herbert’s sci-fi masterpiece and Denis Villeneuve’s blockbuster movies. Check out the new release date trailer below…
The Fremen have vanished. Paul Atreides was never born. Lady Jessica obeyed the Bene Gesserit and gave birth to a girl. Duke Leto Atreides survived the assault on Arrakeen and is now locked in a brutal conflict with the Harkonnen over Arrakis and its precious spice.
In this unique but still familiar take on the iconic sci-fi universe of Dune, you begin as a prisoner sent to Arrakis to uncover the mystery of the Fremen’s disappearance. Following in the footsteps of the mysterious desert tribe, you will learn the true meaning of desert power as you rise from a nameless survivor to becoming an agent of the Atreides or the Harkonnen.
Alone, with friends, or any of the hundreds of players you share Arrakis with, can you survive the most dangerous planet in the universe?
Dune: Awakening is set for release on May 20th 2025.
