What is Dune Awakening?
Dune: Awakening is a survival MMO set in the well-loved world of Dune. The planet itself is the desolate desert of Arrakis and it seems just as unforgiving as many will expect.
The gameplay will involve survival against both natural and biological threats, as well as building shelters to help aid said survival.
As expected on a planet like Arrakis, scavenging fallen ships and unmapped sectors is vital to acquire money and secrets. However, money can also be made through the spice control you will need to manage. All that is combined with a beautiful open world and multiple tough choices.
