The Spice is undoubtedly in the air, with Part Two of Dennis Villeneuve’s Dune film adaptation of Frank Herbert’s epic sci-fi series now in theatres. Striking while the iron is hot, we also got a stunning gameplay trailer from Funcom for the upcoming survival MMO Dune: Awakening, which was revealed in August 2022 and prophesied to come to PS5 someday.
We see players engaging in incredibly Dune-like activities, speeding across endless deserts, evading sandworms, constructing bases and outposts, and struggling to survive in one of the harshest environments imaginable. That’s a pretty compelling pitch for a survival game, but add to that the magic of the setting, and Funcom has a recipe for success with Dune: Awakening, provided they can deliver. Still no word on a release date or even window, but in the meantime, feast your eyes on the screenshots below:
