About
Dune: Awakening is an epic Open World Survival Game where you get to fully immerse yourself in one of science fiction’s most iconic worlds.
You have been chosen by the Bene Gesserit to go to Arrakis as their agent and 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 with friends, Dune: Awakening gives you the opportunity to explore a vast, open world Arrakis brimming with secrets to discover, stories to investigate, gadgets to craft, vehicles to assemble, and bases to build. You choose which path to take as you 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 Mentat and 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.
Dune: Awakening gives you a living, breathing Dune on a scale never seen before.
Discover a dynamic and immersive Arrakis, from the rolling 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 deserts in an ornithopter you built yourself. Escape the destructive might of the massive sandstorms towering above you as they sweep across the landscape, then take a quiet moment to witness the beauty of Arrakis when the sun is low.
In Dune: Awakening, you get to step into the books and movies and experience one of science fiction’s most incredible worlds up close. Join the Atreides or the Harkonnen and rise through their ranks as you explore their unique stories. Meet familiar characters such as Duke Leto and Feyd-Rautha, investigate the mysterious disappearance of the Fremen, and discover the truth about your own past. Unravel an epic, cinematic Dune story that asks the mind-bending question: what if Paul Atreides was never born?
Arrakis is a test that few survive. Those who do, awaken. Learn to survive the unique climate of Arrakis, chasing shade and extracting liquid from the bodies of your enemies to refine it into water. Study the teachings of the Schools of the Imperium to unlock a powerful repertoire of abilities, weapons, and tools. Wield the Trooper’s unparalleled firepower, use the Bene Gesserit voice to control your enemies, deploy the Mentat’s deceptive traps, or master the Swordmaster’s unique dance of death.
Carve out your own piece of Arrakis and build your personal base of operations. From small outposts to elaborate and towering strongholds, build everything piece-by-piece in the Atreides or Harkonnen style, or any of the other available architectural styles, and decorate it to reflect your personality. Equip it with powerful crafting machines and spice refineries and watch your power and fortune grow. Craft anything from useful desert-survival gadgets to entire vehicles such as ground cars and ornithopters.
Play alone, with friends, or head into the wider world filled with hundreds of other players and engage in the politics of Arrakis. Host your own server, rent one from a third-party provider, or play on an official server. A full single-player mode will arrive on September 22nd, along with many other additions and improvements.

game makes me feel like im playing league of legends 30 seconds of combat at a time 24 seconds of getting tossed around or stunned for 30 mins at a time,
I have really got lost in the story then the mechanics of base building & the overland quests. EnJoy!
I've spent more time waiting for shaders and for the game to load than I have played. It's a survival game, with the standard treadmill of get low quality materials to create low material gear to explore and get better quality materials to get better quality gear. Fun if that's your thing, but the aesthetic of this game is monotonous which doesn't help with the generic MMO vibe. Kill the same enemies. See the same brown area. It's not buggy which is a plus, but it's also not gripping me after giving it a dozen sessions to do so. I got this at 50% off, if I bought this at full price I'd be livid. As it is, I'd feel guilt free to get this at $15 above that I'd wait for a deeper sale.
I love it, very fun and cool game. It is not perfect but if you love dune and survival mmo lite type games you will like this one.
Läuft top sauber, macht Spaß, unzählige Möglichkeiten, Fortschritt ist langsam aber befriedigend, rundum zufrieden.
it is very cool, very stressful, and the suspensor pack is all I want to use in this game, perfect item
Fun game. A lot of improvements over time. I'm glad they modified the end game. I really wasn't interested in the whole endgame being PVP. Kind of strange to force PVP and PVE players to play together, unwillingly lol
Esta entretenido y seguimos diviertiendonos aunque el endgame.... pues si es cierto lo que dicen, el pve es muy bueno el pvp no tanto.
W game
If you've enjoyed the latest Dune movies you'll love this. It brings the world of Dune completely alive. Arrakis is beautiful. The musical scores are haunting. I wouldn't say the story is memorable and certainly is not epic on the scale of the movies but you create your own story anyway. The world is so immersive. It's such a joy to construct a base and begin collecting resources in order to craft better gear and vehicles. The vehicles in this game are extraordinary. The Sandbike, Buggy and eventually what you fly in, the Ornithopter. There's large harvesters that you can build to extract Spice Sand but that's something you do in the Deep Desert in the endgame. Initially you live in Hagga Basin. A huge safe zone but with some dangers that you have to learn how to avoid. For anyone who loves survival games Dune: Awakening is worth the money five times over. At the moment, the endgame feels unfinished but they're coming out with a lot of new content by December 2026 and a new single-player mode on September 22, 2026. Now's a good time to get in. A lot of improvements and refinements happened over the past year and new content just around the corner. If you have a friend or two that will be on the same server and Sietch as you and you build your bases next to each other, experiencing the game together is really fun. Building and exploring stand out to me. That can keep me having fun for dozens of hours. And I'm looking forward to what comes next.
