Dune RPG: Awakening To Be Released For PC Next Year

Funcom announced that Dune: Awakening, an Open World Survival game MMO, will release for PC in early 2025, which will then be followed by its release for the console.

Aired for the first time on Opening Night Live Gamescom, gamers are treated to exclusive gamesplay for 5 minutes, featuring for the first time a player's journey ranging from collecting resources and surviving to mobilizing the entire rail to hunt spices.

"Coming up gameplay for the first time has always been a huge momentum, especially in a game where the entanglement between all these systems can create a very unexpected moment, but the team has been working amazingly and we can't wait to see how the gaming community responds," Joel Bylos, Creative Director of Funcom said in a statement received on Wednesday, August 21.

In collaboration with Herbert Estate and Legendary, Funcom introduces an alternative history in Dune: Awakening where Paul Atreides was never born, giving players the opportunity to determine Arrakis' future in their own hands.

We are excited to give gamers Dune's first flashback: Awakening in Gamescom. The fidelity and in-depth details of this game have succeeded in revealing the wealth and depth of the Dune universe in a way that reminds us of the beautiful world presented in the film Denis Villeneuve," said Sam Raport, Vice President of Interactive Media at Legendary Entertainment.

According to Raport, this game is proof of the dedication of developers and is a thrilling new way for fans to engage with this iconic saga.

Dune: Awakening will be launched in early 2025 for PC, and will come for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series XS on the date to be announced later.
