The Dune universe keeps its gaming momentum going with Dune: Awakening, a survival MMO from Funcom, released on PC on May 20, 2025 and set to arrive on PS5 on September 22, 2026, with a later release on Xbox Series to follow. The game drops players onto Arrakis, a desert world that's as brutal as it is strategic, where survival hinges on exploration, resource management, and forging alliances. Each session begins with scarce resources in an open world where the aim is not only to endure the desert's dangers but to steadily expand your influence.
"This is your Dune. A Dune where Paul Atreides was never born and where a terrible war of assassins rages between Atreides and Harkonnen. Where the machinations of the guilds and the Great Houses devour as many unfortunates as the old sand worms that roam the desert. In a world you'll share with hundreds of other players, will you manage to rule a Great House and take control of the spice? Your journey begins here, in the desert. Find the Fremen and awaken the sleeper".
Dune: Awakening stands out for its expansive sandbox that puts freedom of action and progression front and center. From the first steps on the sands of Arrakis, players face pivotal choices: hunt for water to survive, or dive into political machinations and faction clashes to seize power. The game delivers open-ended progression with no class constraints, as players learn and hone a broad suite of skills from mentors scattered throughout this rich, immersive universe.
The challenges don't stop there. The environment of Arrakis, with its sandstorms and giant worms, is a formidable opponent in its own right. But Dune: Awakening takes immersion a step further by inviting players to interact with each other, whether cooperatively to build colossal structures or confrontationally in epic PvP and faction battles. The game also features rich group content, guilds and a contract system, enriching the online social experience.
Dune: Awakening is ready to immerse players in the Dune universe with unprecedented freedom of action. The journey to dominate Arrakis begins here.
