The wait is over, survivors! Dune: Awakening has officially launched, plunging players into the treacherous sands of Arrakis. Developed by Funcom, this multiplayer survival RPG is now available on PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S, offering a fresh story in an alternate timeline.
Survive and Thrive on Arrakis
Step into a world where Paul Atreides never existed, and the fate of Arrakis hangs in balance. In Dune: Awakening, you'll battle the elements, craft gear, build bases, and clash for dominance in a vast open world. With hundreds of players sharing a persistent universe, every sand dune hides danger—especially from towering sandworms that can strip you of everything if you're not careful.
Launch Goodies and Events
Funcom is kicking things off with exciting perks. A Season Pass, bundled with Deluxe and Ultimate Editions, includes the first DLC, 'Wildlife of Arrakis,' already out for base decoration. Meanwhile, special events are live: tune into streams for Twitch Drops to snag exclusive Observer building pieces, or join the Support a Creator event to earn a unique Atreides Officer Suit by supporting streamers.
What’s in the Editions?
Choosing your version of the game comes with sweet bonuses. The Deluxe Edition packs the base game, a Sunset Dye Swatch, Season Pass, and Sardaukar Bator Armor. Go big with the Ultimate Edition for extra swatches, a Caladan Palace Building Set, a film-inspired stillsuit, plus a digital artbook and soundtrack.
How Do Servers Work?
The game’s Worlds feature shared Social Hubs and Deep Desert zones, while the Hagga Basin remains server-specific. Want a more personal experience? Private servers are an option, giving you control over your desert domain.
