Funcom showed off a new trailer of Paul Atreides musing for Dune Awakening, a new open world MMO coming.
The trailer featured the hero Paul Atreides, who sets off a galaxy-wide jihad in the Dune novels, wondering what would happen if he was never born. It’s an interesting future where House Atreides is never destroyed by the Emperor or House Harkonnen.
The game from Funcom and Nukklear looks beautiful and full of very detailed imagery of the desert planet Arrakis, also known as Dune. Survival is the key word. Dune is a very deadly world, with sandworms and an unforgiving climate.
Inspired by Frank Herbert’s sci-fi masterpiece and the award-winning, blockbuster film by Denis Villeneuve, Funcom’s upcoming open world survival MMO will let us explore Arrakis. The title is coming to PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
