During the Opening Night Live presentation at gamescom 2022, Funcom revealed the first trailer for their upcoming Survival MMO set in Frank Herbert’s world, Dune: Awakening.
Funcom has been working on their Dune game for a little bit now, and today, in the second world premiere of gamescom’s Opening Night Live, they’ve finally given us a glimpse. While it’s all pretty much cinematic footage without any real gameplay shown, it’s nonetheless exciting to finally see this revealed:
As a life-long fan of Dune, this trailer is hitting all the right spots. I know MMOs aren’t normally my thing, but I’m going to have to give this one a shot. I mean, a survival game set on Arrakis seems like a perfect combination, and I’m hoping we won’t have to wait much longer to see even more of it.
Rise from survival to dominance in a vast and seamless Arrakis shared by thousands of players. Dune: Awakening combines the grit and creativity of survival games with the social interactivity of large, persistent multiplayer games to create a unique and ambitious Open World Survival MMO.
No release date set just yet, but you can Wishlist Dune: Awakening on Steam right now and sign up for the beta.
