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.

Dune: Awakening is being developed by Funcom and Nukklear GmbH and published by Funcom. The game is inspired by Frank Herbert’s monumental sci-fi series, with visual inspiration coming from 2021’s Dune, which was directed by Denis Villeneuve.
