Dune: Awakening Gaming News

Dune: Awakening looks to take Denis Villeneuve’s world and throw in a healthy amount of No Man’s Sky and Rust to create a survival game that has a lot of potential, and looks visually immaculate.

About

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.

Key features:

  • SURVIVE by learning the ways of the Fremen. Seek the shadows to escape the scorching sun. Craft stillsuits and extract water from your enemies to stay hydrated. Build shelter to escape lethal sandstorms and always beware the sandworm.
  • EXPLORE a vast, open world of beauty and danger. Glide, climb, and speed across Arrakis using iconic Dune tech such as ornithopters and suspensor belts. Visit the hubs of Arrakeen and Harko Village, bustling with other players to socialize and trade with.
  • DISCOVER a shifting desert that offers infinite exploration. Coriolis storms reshape the Deep Desert, turning familiar ground into treacherous, unknown territory. Every week, players race to be the first to uncover new locations, dangers, and rewards.
  • SANDBOX combat allows you to approach every situation differently using a wide arsenal of ranged and melee weapons, technology, abilities, and even vehicles. From humble beginnings to unthinkable strength, every step fuels your rise to greatness.
  • MASTER one or all the Great Schools of the Imperium: Bene Gesserit, Trooper, Mentat, Swordmaster, and Planetologist. Use manipulation and trickery, poison and grenades, dart rifles and crysknives. And remember: the slow blade penetrates the shield.
  • SPICE is the most valuable resource in the universe. Control, trade, and consume it to unshackle your potential and fuel new powers. Rise from a nameless survivor to ultimately summoning the desert’s greatest force: the sandworm Shai-Hulud himself.
  • CREATE a persona as unique as your ambitions. Craft anything from Fremen stillsuits to Harkonnen ornithopters and fine Atreides furniture. Customize endlessly with emotes, transmog systems, and swatches that let you stand out in the desert.
  • UNCOVER the truth behind the Fremen’s disappearance. As you survive, explore, and build your way to power on Arrakis, you will unravel an engaging storyline unlike anything seen in a multiplayer survival game before.
  • BUILD anything from a temporary encampment to an impenetrable fortress with a robust, flexible building system. Convert your buildings into blueprints that you can sell to other players on the server-wide Exchange, along with anything you harvest and produce.
  • UNITE or compete with other survivors – or choose to play alone. Dune: Awakening features a highly immersive and persistent online world shared with thousands of other characters and several hundred people playing concurrently. PvP is always optional.
  • GROUP up with other players to delve into ancient Ecology Labs, collaborate creatively using the robust co-op building system, or simply visit the Arrakeen and Harko Village social hubs to grab a drink or trade on the Exchange.
  • LEAD or follow, the choice is yours. Join or create a guild, swear allegiance to the Atreides or Harkonnen, and work together to secure their power in the server-wide Landsraad whose decrees impact every player on the server.
  • RISE to power through the ranks of the Atreides or the Harkonnen. As you build reputation with your Great House, you will access unique faction rewards such as equipment, vehicles, and building pieces. Ultimately you can pledge your entire guild to their cause.
  • CONTROL the spice, and you control Arrakis. The ever-shifting sands of the Deep Desert offers not only infinite exploration, but also infinite rewards. Here, players, guilds, and the Great Houses battle over massive spice blows to fuel their finances – and their ambitions.
  • PVP is always optional. Participate in major ground-and-air battles in the Deep Desert or support the efforts from behind the frontlines through PvE activities like crafting to secure power in the Landsraad. Play politics and make decisions that impact the whole server.
