The game also has an upcoming beta.ĭune: Awakening: release date speculation, trailers, gameplay, and moreĮverything we know about Dune: Spice Wars With a new Dune film making the series larger than ever thanks to an all-star cast and larger budget than ever before, Dune Awakening could serve as a game that is actually open to more than just a specific audience.ĭune Awakening doesn’t yet have a set launch date or window yet, but it is set to launch on most current-gen consoles, including Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Windows PC. This has been the case with Dune RTS games for years, as the genre is steeped in a large barrier-to-entry for newcomers. The most recent Dune title to be released was Dune: Spice Wars, a real-time strategy game that we at Digital Trends called a strategy game more for die-hard RTS fans than Dune series fans. The multiplayer component will be quite large, given that ” thousands of players will have to survive in this world, but also interact with each other.Dune Awakening is the latest in what feels like a recent revival that the entire Dune franchise has been going through since the release of the 2021 Dune reboot film.

Players will have to survive on this beautiful and dangerous planet, explore it, especially to build shelters and protect themselves from sandstorms and, of course, control the Spice. It was also confirmed that Dune: Awakening was an open-world multiplayer survival game, which, on paper, looks promising. We also see a sandworm destroying, or rather swallowing, what appears to be a spice harvester, only to give way to a devastating sandstorm. The kinematics, of unparalleled quality, plunges us directly into Arrakis, one of the flagship planets of the Dune universe, in particular because it is home to the Spice, coveted by all. After long months of waiting, and a bit of teasing, we finally got to enjoy a trailer for Dune: Awakeningwithout gameplay, but which already promises. For a few months, we knew that an open-world Dune game was in development by Funcom, with no connection to Dune: Spice Wars, which was by Shiro Games.
