About the Game

Dune: Awakening is an epic Open World Survival RPG where you get to fully immerse yourself in the legendary world of Dune.

You have been chosen by the Bene Gesserit to go to Arrakis as their agent, to uncover the mystery of the missing Fremen. Visit locations such as Arrakeen and Hagga Basin and meet familiar characters such as Duke Leto Atreides and Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, as you unravel an epic Dune story never told before: yours.

Whether you prefer to play alone or together with friends, Dune: Awakening gives you the opportunity to explore a vast, open world Arrakis brimming with secrets to discover, stories to investigate, and the opportunity for you to rise from survival to greatness.

Avoid the roaming sandworms. Seek shadows to stay out of the scorching sun. Study the slow blade or learn to master the powers of the Bene Gesserit. Build a modest home or a massive base and decorate it to reflect your character’s unique personality. Climb mountains or craft your ornithopter and take to the skies. The choice is yours.

Dune: Awakening gives you a living, breathing Dune on a scale never seen before.

Explore a dynamic and immersive Arrakis, from the vast sand dunes of the Deep Desert to hidden Fremen caves and the bustling city streets of Arrakeen. Climb towering mountains with the Shigawire hook and fly across sandworm-infested sands in your own, crafted ornithopter. Witness massive sandstorms towering above you as they sweep across the landscape.

 

Experience an epic, cinematically told Dune story that asks the mind-bending question: what if Paul Atreides was never born? What would be different? Meet familiar characters from the books and movies including Duke Leto and Feyd-Rautha, investigate the mysterious disappearance of the Fremen, and discover the truth about your own past. Join the Atreides or the Harkonnen and rise through their ranks as you explore their unique stories.

 

Seek shadows in the scorching heat of the day. Craft a stillsuit to reclaim your bodily fluids. Look for wormsign or risk being eaten by Shai-Hulud himself. Arrakis is a test, and to succeed, you must uncover the secret knowledge of the Fremen and study the teachings of the Schools of the Imperium to unlock a powerful repertoire of abilities, weapons, and tools.

 

Carve out a piece of Arrakis for yourself. Discover unique resources to mine and craft hundreds of items, armors, gadgets, vehicles, and base parts. Build and decorate a modest home just for yourself, set up an efficient spice refinery with your friends, or construct a massive seat of power for your guild. Scavenge, craft, build, and trade your way to fortune.

 

Play alone, with a handful of friends, or head into the wider world filled with hundreds of other players and engage in the politics of Arrakis. Unlock powerful new abilities to become a master of hand-to-hand and ranged combat or pursue the life of a planetologist, surveying Arrakis and uncovering its ancient mysteries. You decide how to spend your time on Arrakis.

This is my first review on Steam. I normally don't see the point. But this time I feel strongly that the negative reviews are outdated and I want the game to succeed. The developers have been incredibly responsive to the community, making sweeping changes to respond to the complaints. Even the negative reviews typically admit the leveling experience is enjoyable and one of the most atmospheric games of the year

This is a game that is right for: 1. Fans of Dune. It's very lore-friendly, but creative! A "what if" scenario that makes the story better with its own pretty well done plot! If you ever wanted to do a spice harvesting operation with a harvester, a carrier and a spotter ornithopter and go for riches while risking opponents in PvP, worms and storms - this game is IT! SPOT ON! If you ever wanted to explore and mingle

I want to like this game. I genuinely do. The core of Dune Awakening is compelling. The Landsraad system encourages coordination. Farming and base-building loops are fun and engaging. The new Chapter 3 additions show real potential. And the Dune universe gives it a strong thematic glue. But the execution and product they have delivered continues to undermine player trust. Just this week, a small number of players
