Dune: Awakening Set to Launch on PC May 20, 2025

Funcom's survival MMO offers an alternate take on the Dune universe, with a character creator and benchmark mode available now.

Dune: Awakening will release on PC on May 20, 2025, priced at $49.99, with pre-orders starting soon and console release dates to be announced later.
The game is set in an alternate timeline where Paul Atreides was never born, featuring open-world survival gameplay with political intrigue and faction-based dynamics.
Players can now access a free character creator and benchmark tool via Steam, allowing them to design characters and test system compatibility ahead of launch.
Pre-order bonuses include the Terrarium of Muad’Dib, an in-game decoration featuring the iconic desert mouse, while early access to the character creator grants a Frameblade knife skin at launch.
Funcom describes Dune: Awakening as its most ambitious survival game, inspired by Frank Herbert's novels and Denis Villeneuve's films, blending exploration, combat, and political strategy on Arrakis.
