Dune: Awakening MMO Character Creation is Open!

Launch Date: May 20th, 2025

Get ready to conquer the desert! Funcom has unleashed the Character Creator and Benchmark Mode, allowing you to craft your perfect Fremen (or not-so-perfect Harkonnen!) and test your PC's mettle. Customize every detail, from appearance to home planet, caste, and mentor, shaping the destiny of your character before the game even launches. Early character creation even nets you an exclusive Frameblade knife skin, redeemable at launch via code.

The Benchmark Sequence takes you on a thrilling journey across Arrakis, from a player-built base to the bustling Harkonnen hub of Harko Village, culminating in a face-off with a colossal sandworm. This tests your PC's performance and optimizes graphics settings for a smooth, immersive experience.

Dune: Awakening will be priced at USD 49.99. Pre-orders on Steam (coming soon!) include the Terrarium of Muad’Dib, a unique in-base decoration featuring the beloved desert kangaroo mouse.

A New Chapter in the Dune Saga

Inspired by Frank Herbert's iconic novels and the acclaimed film adaptations, Dune: Awakening plunges you into a vast, open-world multiplayer survival experience.

Explore the ever-shifting sands of Arrakis, a world of endless discovery. New locations, challenges, and rewards appear weekly, driving you to explore and conquer. Build bases, engage in thrilling combat, and leave your mark on the legendary desert planet. Will you carve your name into the history of Arrakis?
