Dune: Awakening a New Pre-Alpha Trailer

Funcom is now excited to show off the first pre-alpha footage of Dune: Awakening, their ambitious Open World Survival MMO. Inspired by the sci-fi masterpiece DUNE written by Frank Herbert

The pre-alpha teaser trailer for Dune: Awakening, the upcoming Dune survival MMO, was released as part of tonight’s Game Awards.

The trailer gives viewers a look at different areas of the iconic planet Arrakis, set to an eerie narration that details a vast dream that seems to revolve around the player.

Dune: Awakening is an open-world survival MMO and takes place on Arrakis that will also be “shared by thousands of players.” Arrakis will be one seamless world that combines tough survival gameplay and the social aspects of large, persistent online games.

Joel Bylos, Chief Creative Officer at Funcom and Creative Director of Dune: Awakening, says, “Working with a universe as rich and expansive as Dune is the perfect fit for Funcom’s drive to create compelling multiplayer open worlds. With Dune: Awakening, we’re trying to push the boundaries of what people expect in the Survival space – and I can’t wait until we can get it into the hands of our players.”
