If you’re like me, still trying to catch up on all the Gamescom 2024 news, you have probably heard about the new Dune: Awakening game coming out next year.
The open-world survival MMO was announced during the big game event, with the release on PC in 2025 and consoles later. 🙂
Dune: Awakening – Launch Date
There isn’t a solid release date yet for Dune: Awakening, but developer Funcom and publisher Tencent announced that it will arrive for PC in early 2025. A release for PlayStation and Xbox Series X/S will happen later.
Joel Bylos, Creative Director at Funcom, said, “Revealing gameplay for the first time is always a big moment, especially in a game where the interplay between all these systems can create completely unexpected moments, but the team has done an incredible job and we can’t wait to see how the community reacts.”
Sam Rappaport, Vice President of Interactive Media at Legendary Entertainment said, "We are incredibly excited for gamers to get their first glimpse of ‘Dune: Awakening’ at gamescom. The game’s authenticity and attention to detail successfully convey the richness and depth of the Dune universe in a manner that is reminiscent of the world beautifully presented in Denis Villeneuve’s films. This game is a testament to the dedication of the developers and a thrilling new way for fans to engage with the iconic saga.
Gameplay & Features
According to the release, Dune: Awakening will challenge players to:
● SURVIVE the scorching desert and colossal sandworms by learning the ways of the Fremen.
● EXPAND your influence through combat, spice flow, building and upgrading bases, crafting vehicles, and trade. Develop your character by walking the path of the Mentat, Trooper, Planetologist, Swordmaster or Bene Gesserit.
● CONTROL the spice and cling to power as guild intrigue and warfare rage. Join a guild and align with House Harkonnen or Atreides, and clash for the precious spice in dynamic guild versus guild battles involving a range of vehicles, tech, and specialized combatants.

Right now, you can already sign up for the beta! I don’t know that much about Dune, to be honest. BUT there is some appeal to playing as Bene Gesserit. I want to fulfill my hot assassin lady dreams. HAHAHAHAH.
