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.

Decades have past since the long lost glories of MMORPG, or even gaming itself that a game has captivated me such as Dune: Awakening. For me it is like a new awakening in Gaming Experience with a title that takes the word immersion and realism to a whole new level. 2 Words: Sandstorms and Dune-Worms. The thrill of being hunted by elements that are untouchable, and no matter how strong you become, they will always subdue you to humility is something modern games lack. I have not put this game down since i started it, with over 760 hours already in game and hundreds more to come. Yes; it does get redundant end game, as you no longer have quests or new things to craft, but the idea that everything has durability and fuel dependency, keeps you on your toes as nothing you own is permanent. This game should be studied and copied relentlessly if the gaming universe wants to survive this struggle of competitiveness. May Shai-Hulud spare you when you venture in the Deep Desert and may the Coriolis Storm always appear when you are long gone. May the vivid purple color of the Spice always glow around you Dune-Walker.
Me encanta el juego, pero el problema con el lag y el stuttering es insufrible. Ojala mejore.
Deben pulirlo, pero el lore, la inmersión y todo es increible, para los amantes de la saga 10/10 PERO POR DIOS QUITAR BUGSSSSS
This game is a blast for the Survival and Sci-fy lovers especialy anyone that has read or watched Dune books/Movies. However, its only great for 50-100 hours max, after that it becomes repetative and it will make you see its potential and hate the waste of it.
I stopped playing once I hit the PvP wall, but now that the griefing has been removed, I’m really enjoying the game again. There’s still a surprising amount to do, and it’s pulled me right back in. Highly recommended for Dune fans.
Das Spiel macht einfach Mega viel Spaß und ist auch super gemacht.
This game is super unstable and refuses to run correctly after 3 hours, it wont even boot up anymore, such a disappointment
