Everything We Learned At The Dune Awakening Event

In Dune: Awakening , health isn’t the only thing players will need to manage - in fact, it's arguably the easier stat to keep in check compared to the other main survival component: thirst . When the game begins, players will only be able to extract water from desert plants, and there is only so much of them that can be consumed until a temporary fullness cap is reached. In my hands-on time with the game, my character initially died almost immediately from dehydration, overcome in the hot sun and succumbing to the des

Although Frank Herbert's Dune Awakening weapons eventually spelled the end for Cryo Interactive, it made a valiant attempt to stay faithful to its source material. Unfortunately, it's let down by rough-edged third-person action that was poor even for its time.


Though it eschews the main narrative of Herbert's beloved Dune series, the game still draws great inspiration from the worldbuilding of both the book series and the recent films of Denis Villeneuve. The influence of the movies' cinematography is evident from the title's new trailer, which utilizes striking visuals to emphasize both the dangers and potential to be found on Arrakis. While there's still a lot to learn about the MMO, the event did offer several key takeaways about Dune: Awakeni


Our first look at Dune: Awakening was brief, but special. It taps into everything that makes the franchise great, explains it all well in its narrative and MMO underpinnings, and offers plenty of opportunities for players to engage with the world around them. The Dune franchise is only going to become increasingly popular, it would seem, and it looks like Dune: Awakening is prepared to ride that wave like the Fremen ride sandwo


Upcoming survival MMO **Dune: Awakening ** will let players attempt to make it on their own on Arrakis, the most dangerous planet in the galaxy. The title comes from Funcom, a developer that's no stranger to the online multiplayer genre, with previous releases like Conan Exiles and Secret World Legends . Screen Rant recently attended a special event for the game hosted by Funcom's creative director Joel Bylos, which featured a premiere of a new trailer and a showcase segment delving into the game's developm

Those who have read the books or watched the films know this is a major departure as Leto died after being handed over to the Harkonnens by his private Suk Doctor, Wellington Yueh, during the attack on Arrakis by Baron Harkonnen's forces. Before giving Leto to the Harkonnens, Yueh replaced one of Leto's teeth with a poison gas capsule and told Leto to bite down hard to release the deadly gas. Although Leto did this, his main target, Baron Harkonnen survived, but Leto succumbed to the effects of the poison himself.


A nice co-op feature mentioned during the demo was that players can either half or full build objects , either placing a hologram of what they will look like somewhere or fully crafting them, to aid in collaborative building. As players build up their bases, they will also have to work to maintain them. Things like lighting and machinery require power systems to be made in order to run, and in general the bases built will require taxes to be paid on the land on which they


In terms of both mechanical improvements and cosmetic changes, players will have a lot of options when it comes to customizing their game. This applies to armor, weapons, and vehicles - and potentially more things not mentioned in the presentation - with Bylos giving examples like attaching a booster or an inventory system to a vehicle or customizing the scope of a gun. There will also be a " dyeing system " in the game, though its specific mechanics weren't revea

Developed by the team behind the hit indie strategy game, Northgard , Dune: Spice Wars is a highly polished, modern RTS set in the universe of Dune . Dune: Spice Wars features a variety of asymmetric factions that give the game a great deal of replay value, featuring unique abilities and ways to play.

**Duke Leto's death was a major catalyst in Dune 's story, as it led to Paul fleeing Arrakeen ** and embarking upon his journey. While Paul had visions of a native Fremen woman, Chani, it was only after the fall of House Atreides that he met and rallied the Fremen to fight alongside him, and ultimately became the Kwisatz Haderach. Therefore, if Leto survived, Paul's main arc could be changed drastically in Dune: Awakening , making for an extremely different version of the character eight years later, compared to the one fans are familiar with.


Traversing across the sands can attract sandworms that will devour the player, taking all their gear, items, and - if nearby - their vehicles. Dune: Awakening 's sandworms devour and destroy everything, while standard deaths in conventional combat lead to minor losses. It not only helps realize the dangers of Arrakis, but ensures players are mindful of what they are carrying where. The demoist showed us a couple of vehicles players could use, all derived from the Dune franchise obviously, and losing them in such a vast world is no doubt a serious loss, alongside any high-level gear. Players could craft that gear again, but it requires finding the schematic, necessary materials, and so forth. Gaining anything in Dune: Awakening is an investment, and the sandworm can just wipe that all cl
