May 20th Launch & Early Access Perks
Dune: Awakening, a survival MMO from Funcom, arrives on May 20th, 2025 for PC via Steam. Early character creation unlocks an exclusive Frameblade knife skin, redeemable upon launch with a code. A benchmark tool also helps optimize PC settings for optimal gameplay.
The character creator offers extensive customization: appearance, home planet, caste, and mentor/class selection. These choices carry over to the full game. Pre-orders (available soon on Steam) include the Terrarium of Muad’Dib in-game decoration. The game will be priced at USD 49.99.
The benchmark tests your PC's performance using a scenario that includes a player base, Harko Village (a Harkonnen hub), and a sandworm encounter.
