Dune: Awakening MMO Character Creation Now Open
Excitement is building for the upcoming survival MMO, Dune: Awakening, set to launch on May 20th, 2025. Available initially on PC via Steam, with subsequent releases on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, players can dive into the world of Arrakis sooner than expected. Developer Funcom has introduced the Character Creator and Benchmark Mode, enabling eager fans to design their characters and check their PC's compatibility with the game well in advance.
With the Character Creator, players have the freedom to tailor every detail of their character's appearance, from choosing their home planet to selecting their caste and mentor or class. This personalized character will seamlessly transfer into the full game upon its release. As an added incentive, those who create their characters early will unlock an exclusive Frameblade knife skin, available through a code on launch day.
The Benchmark Sequence is designed to optimize your gaming experience by testing your PC's performance and adjusting graphics settings for the best gameplay. This sequence guides players through a player-built desert base, the bustling Harko Village, and culminates in a thrilling encounter with a colossal sandworm.
Dune: Awakening is priced at USD 49.99, with pre-orders soon available on Steam. Pre-ordering grants you an in-game decoration, the Terrarium of Muad'Dib, featuring the beloved desert kangaroo mouse from the series.
Dune: Awakening Features An Alternate World
Drawing inspiration from Frank Herbert's iconic Dune novels and the film adaptations, Dune: Awakening is an open-world multiplayer survival game set in the vast universe of Arrakis. Players embark on their journey as a prisoner tasked with uncovering the mystery behind the disappearance of the Fremen. The narrative evolves as your character ascends from obscurity to become a pivotal figure aligned with either the Atreides or Harkonnen factions.
Arrakis, the expansive desert world, offers endless exploration opportunities. Each week brings new locations, challenges, and rewards, spurring players to explore and conquer. Build bases, engage in combat, venture into the unknown, and connect with the community to leave your mark and rise through the ranks in this dynamic and ever-changing world.
