The buzz around Denis Villeneuve’s successful films has significantly heightened anticipation for the upcoming survival MMO, Dune: Awakening. Fans won't have to wait much longer, as developer Funcom has officially announced the PC release date: May 20. While console versions are slated for a later release, eager players can dive into the latest gameplay trailer right now.
What does the trailer showcase? It's filled with the quintessential elements of a Dune game: vast desert landscapes, intricate base-building mechanics, intense combat sequences, and the iconic sandworms. It's everything fans would hope to see and more.
