The world has been waiting for Dune: Awakening for a while now. Since just before the films re-imagined Frank Herbert’s sci-fi masterpiece reignited interest we have been looking forward to Funcom’s slightly alternate history version of Arrakis. As big fans of Conan Exiles, and how that game has endured the test of time, the prospect of a survival sandbox on that level is definitely something we want to be a part of. Gamescom 2024 is where we finally got a proper look at the gameplay of Dune Awakening and as you can see from the video below, there is a lot to like. Over the coming days, we will get to see more and Funcom has just announced that Dune: Awakening Direct will air on August 29, showcasing even more gameplay footage and feature details.
