During this weekend’s PC Gaming Show, Funcom went in-depth on the Dune: Awakening MMO, revealing early gameplay and a bunch of details.
I want you to know, I feel both great shame and great disappointment about having completely missed out on the Dune: Awakening news from Sunday. Shame because I love Dune and completely blanked on the PC Gaming Show that was happening. Disappointment because no one thought to tag me in any of the news!
Regardless, Sunday brought gamers our best look yet at the upcoming survival MMO set in Frank Herbert’s iconic universe. During a lengthy presentation, the developers talked quite a bit about it along with a heap of early gameplay footage:
While the footage is still early, I’m pretty thrilled with what’s been shown so far. They’re taking obvious visual inspiration from the new films, while still integrating some elements diehard fans know from the books. Generally speaking, I’m not huge on MMOs, but I won’t be able to resist this one (especially as it’s supposed to hit consoles as well).
Still no release date, or window, for the game but I’m definitely digging the progress they’ve shown so far.
