Author: GameTikker

The upcoming scorching desert adventure Dune: Awakening, developed by Funcom, is an open world, multiplayer survival game, where base building is a key part of the player’s survival and rise to power on Arrakis, the most dangerous planet in the universe. Dune: Awakening’s building system lets you claim your piece of the desert, and develop it into a wonder, piece by piece.

✪ Start Constructing

Start out by raising a small shelter as protection against the sun and bandits, and as a place to expand your crafting capabilities, even letting you refine blood into drinkable water. Expand your base, explore, build additional bases, and eventually, choose a Great House to align with.

Once you have earned a place among the Atreides or the Harkonnen, you can begin to build with their unique architecture, visually inspired by Denis Villeneuve and Legendary’s award-winning blockbuster movies. From imposing and intricate fortresses, you will control the flow of spice.

✪ The Foundation

Dune: Awakening’s extensive and versatile building system lets Players construct dream Atreides and Harkonnen Bases.

For Dune: Awakening, Funcom has drawn on many years of experience designing building systems - pushing it to new heights with things like the Blueprint system, letting you copy any build into a Blueprint which can be placed anywhere in an instant, given to other players, or even sold. And with Solido Projections, co-op building has never been easier.

✪ The Journey

Rise from survival to greatness and challenge the power of an Imperium in Dune: Awakening, a multiplayer survival game on a massive scale. Survive the sandworm, craft your ornithopter, build a fortress, and ascend to power on an open world Arrakis shared with hundreds of other players.

✪ Your Story Begins

“Find the Fremen. Wake the Sleeper.” This is the mandate given to you by the Reverend Mother, her deadly Gom Jabbar held at your neck. What follows is an odyssey across Arrakis, told through a rich cast of characters, with detailed cinematic cutscenes. Dune: Awakening pulls cinematic storytelling further into the multiplayer survival space.

Walk in the footsteps of the Fremen as you learn to survive the desert and uncover a past that the sands have buried. “Every person carries their past with them. Who are you?”

When Dune: Awakening launches, players will be free to immerse themselves in the rich and imaginative world created by Frank Herbert and brought to life by Denis Villeneuve and Legendary Entertainment’s award-winning movies.

Players will be able to carve their piece of Arrakis themselves when Dune: Awakening releases on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Steam for PC on June 10. Players who pre-order get the Terrarium of Muad’dib and choose the Deluxe or Ultimate Edition receive a 5-day head start and exclusive in-game items.
