Funcom has released a first cinematic trailer for Dune: Awakening, a new “open-world survival MMO” inspired by Frank Herbert’s novels and Denis Villeneuve’s Academy Award-winning film, that’s heading to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Dune: Awakening was first teased back in 2019, when Funcom announced it had signed a deal with Legendary Studios to make “at least” three games set in Frank Herbert’s Dune universe. One of those eventually turned out to be Dune: Spice Wars and the other, described as an “open-world multiplayer game” from Funcom Oslo, we can now call Dune: Awakening.
Today’s announcement doesn’t bring any gameplay, but Funcom says it’ll combine the “grittiness and creativity of survival games with the social interactivity of large-scale, persistent multiplayer games” in a “vast and seamless Arrakis shared by thousands of players”.
