Highly anticipated upcoming MMORPG Dune: Awakening has finally got a release date, and it’s coming on May 20th this year.
Better yet, if you want to get a head start on creating your character for Dune: Awakening, you can: a character creation tool has been released ahead of time, which will carry on over to the final game. A little bonus as well, as the character creation tool also includes a benchmarking tool to check your PC is up to the task of running the game.
The base game will cost $49.99 (pre-orders are starting soon), and if you do pre-order you will get “the Terrarium of Muad’Dib, a beautiful in-base decoration which houses the iconic desert mouse. Observe him well as he goes about his life, for he is wise in the ways of the desert.”
Publisher Funcom says: “Download Dune: Awakening’s full Character Creator & Benchmark Mode today to receive a code for the exclusive Frameblade knife skin that can be redeemed in the game at launch. Once created, the character can be saved and later imported into the game at launch.”
Inspired by Frank Herbert’s legendary sci-fi novel and Legendary Entertainment’s award-winning films, Dune: Awakening is crafted by Funcom’s veteran developers to deliver an experience that resonates with both Dune enthusiasts and survival game fans alike.
Put your hand in the box. Prepare for your epic rise to greatness on Arrakis by taking the Gom Jabbar test and creating your character. Fine-tune every aspect of your looks, then choose your home planet, caste, and mentor, be it Swordmaster, Bene Gesserit, Mentat, or Trooper. The final choice determines your starting abilities, but you will gain access to every School eventually, and can even mix and match abilities from any of them.
Dune: Awakening is the most ambitious survival game ever made, set on the most dangerous planet in the universe, Arrakis. Whether a Dune fan or not, the vast world will immerse you in an epic experience that draws from both Frank Herbert’s sci-fi masterpiece and Denis Villeneuve’s blockbuster movies. Embark on a journey from scavenging and survival to controlling the planet itself.
Dune: Awakening is coming to PC via Steam on May 20th.
