With the explosion of the Dune universe, amplified by the success of recent film adaptations, the world of video games welcomes a new cornerstone in the genre with Dune: Awakening, expected on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series for early 2025. Plunge into the heart ofArrakis, a hostile desert planet, where each player begins hisor her adventure almost destitute, with only survival in mind and, why not, the dream of becoming Baron Harkonnen.
"This is your Dune. A Dune where Paul Atreides was never born and where a terrible war of assassins rages between Atreides and Harkonnen. Where the machinations of the guilds and the Great Houses devour as many unfortunates as the old sand worms that roam the desert. In a world you'll share with hundreds of other players, will you manage to rule a Great House and take control of the spice? Your journey begins here, in the desert. Find the Fremen and awaken the sleeper".
Developed by Funcom, a studio renowned for its expertise in MMORPGs and survival games, Dune: Awakening is the heir to this rich experience. The game distinguishes itself by offering a large-scale sandbox, where freedom of action and progression are paramount. From the very first steps into the desert of Arrakis, players are faced with crucial choices: find water to survive, or engage in political intrigue and factional conflicts to conquer power. The game offers open progression, with no class constraints, where players learn and develop a variety of skills from mentors scattered throughout this rich, immersive universe.
The challenges don't stop there. The environment of Arrakis, with its sandstorms and giant worms, is a formidable opponent in its own right. But Dune: Awakening takes immersion a step further by inviting players to interact with each other, whether cooperatively to build colossal structures or confrontationally in epic PvP and faction battles. The game also promises rich group content, guilds and an innovative contract system, enriching the online social experience.
Dune: Awakening is an ambitious title, ready to immerse players in the fascinating world of Dune with unprecedented freedom of action. The journey to dominate Arrakis begins here, and it promises to be epic.
