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.

This game is well worth the money. The devs have listened to the community and made changes to appease the masses. In Sept. they are launching to consoles and bringing a massive update that will allow those who wish to play in single player mode the ability to do so. I am just amazed that the dev team cared enough to make the community happy.
This game was first marketed as being multiplayer with coop, which was the reason of my friends and I coming on this game. The game was merely a Solo+ game. There was no need for coop as everything was laughably easy (farming camps, getting resources...). Now the game is going full solo content. I can understand that a majority of players who still play the game wishes more solo content. Though, the game was marketed as coop/multiplayer. Stop wrongful advertisements.
I absolutely cannot recommend this game. I would like to. The game itself is fun and the setting is great. Dune lovers will like it but I will not recommend it. This is one of those games where the scavengers and the sand worms are not your biggest threat. You want to know what the biggest threat in this game is? SERVER LAG!! That is right. I played through the ridiculously long tutorial. Then cleared out the entirety of the first area of the map. I was loving it. I had a base, a sand bike and enough water to keep me going. Then you get a mission telling you to move and build a new base in the second area. I packed up everything I had into the inventory on my bike and person. I even demolished my base so I wouldn't need to gather resources at the other end and I headed out to make my new base. On the way across the sand I caught the attention of a sandworm. It wasn't a problem as I had enough time to get to rocky ground. I started to veer right and then the server lagged out. By the time it stopped lagging out my bike had done a full 360 and I got killed by the worm and lost everything I had and now am expected to start over. F**k that. This game is a write off for me. I can handle losing my stuff in a game if it comes down to my skill at the game but if server lag can cause me to lose days worth of grinding, sorry, there are too many games out there for me to waste my time with this!!
They permanently killed PvP in this game, which will inevitably kill the game in the long run. You guys took the wrong fork in the road. Titanium, Stadium, and Spice should have been PvP-only materials. Enjoy your console payday! Money > longevity.
I have played for 50 hours and every time I get eaten by a worn I have to rebuild everything. If I run to a base I die and I am not able to respawn anywhere else so I am stuck far from my base and I cant get there. So I have to rebuild everything again.
Nach jetzt meinem 3. Anlauf mit Dune Awakening und gut 3stelliger Spielzeit ist es an der Zeit für ein Review. Ich würde meinen Spielstil als kooperativ und casual bezeichnen. Zusammenfassend kann man sagen, Dune schafft es das Feeling von Arrakis gut zu transportieren, macht aber für meinen Geschmack dabei zu viele handwerkliche Fehler. Vor allen Dingen fehlt den Entwicklern an vielen Stellen aus meiner Sicht (noch) die „Konsumentperspektive“. Vom Release bis jetzt haben Sie da nachgezogen, aber da ist immer noch viel Luft nach oben. Ich habe 2 Charaktere auf öffentlichen und 1 Charakter zusammen mit meinem Partner auf einem privaten Server gespielt. Vor allen Dingen das „zusammen spielen“ hat mich zum Game geführt und inzwischen zu Abwertungen in der B-Note. Was finde ich gut: Wüstenfeeling, Buchcharaktere, Vorhandensein von Questen und Technologiebaum, mehrere Basen möglich, Was ich problematisch finde: * Man verbringt sehr viel Zeit damit, seinem Copter beim Fliegen zuzusehen, kann aber nicht von der Tastatur weg, weil der Autopilot zwar die Richtung, aber nicht die Höhe halten kann. * Ein privater Server ist in Teilen nicht privat, insbesondere die Tiefe Wüste. * Nur eine Person kann einen instanzierten Questraum betreten. Andere müssen warten, bis der Raum wieder frei wird. * Bei „Töte Gegner X“-Questen müssen beide Gruppenmitglieder jeweils den Killing Blow setzen, also auf Respawn warten. * Das Questdesign ist so modular, verteilt und von einander unabhängig, dass es einen unter Umständen 4 Mal zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten an ein- und denselben Ort führt. * Der tolle Handscanner muss grundsätzlich bei Questen mitgeführt werden muss, weil es plötzlich nur noch weitergeht, wenn das Teil gezückt wird. Und das bei Slot- und Gewichtsbegrenzung des Inventars. * Es gibt Instanzen mit Fallenräumen (z. B. Teststation 152) in denen man sterben kann, ohne seine Todesloot zurückholen zu können. * Wartezeiten von mehreren Minuten, wenn ich einen instanzierten Questraum z. B. in Arrakis betrete. * Es fehlt die Motivation, den massiven, mehrstündigen Grind für einen Sandcrawler durchzuziehen, dann effektiver Spice zu farmen, um dann was zu erleben? Mit viel Liebe zum Setting kann man über vieles hinwegsehen, aber bei mir ist das Game wegen „Rückschlägen“ z. B. Wurm schon öfters von der Platte geflogen. Bis zum Endgame kann man es nett spielen, aber im Plastanium-Zeitalter muss man abwägen, wieviel Grind man für welches Spielerlebnis in Kauf nimmt. Es gibt von mir einen Daumen hoch, weil es mich ja doch lange bei der Stange gehalten hat. Aber es gibt vieles, das andere Games aus dem Genre schon vor Jahren besser gelöst haben, um eine bessere Player Experiance zu ermöglichen. Und ja, das mag ein Jackass-Gamer anders sehen, aber ich bin ein Casual und stehe dazu.
I have really enjoyed this game. The only thing I didn't like was PVP. Solo mains playing mainly PVE (like me) are basically used by the developers as canon fodder for the PVP players. !! WARNING !! Currently the game wont launch for me and many other players. A patch is badly needed but funco hasn't even acknowledged the widespread problem. So until then, my review stays negative,
Умопомрачительная игра которая затянула на долгие дни и даже месяцы, увлекательный сюжет который тянет и тянет постоянно стремится добиться большего и лучшего результата, раньше относился скептически к игре по отзывам, после первой 1000 часов понял что это именно то что я искал долгие годы в играх), и отличные ПВП и замечательный ПВЕ где ты сам себе хозяин и делаешь всё что доступно в игре, спасибо!)
Не знаю про PvP в этой игре, я кайфую от сюжета) И хорошо, что не надо прям фармить, чтобы проходить сюжетку) В общем для погружения в атмосферу Дюны, рекомендую)
Interface was für arsch Steuerung extremis Und ansonsten auch ein scheispiel. Verdient den namen Absolut nicht. Eine schande für Dune
