Premiered at Gamescom Opening Night Live, fans were treated to a five-minute exclusive gameplay reveal, which shows, for the first time, a player’s rise from scavenging and survival to mobilizing an entire guild in the hunt for spice. See the new gameplay in action now.
Set on the most dangerous planet in the universe 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.
Dune: Awakening has made its presence on the Gamescom showfloor known to all, with visitors needing only to follow the towering sandworm sculpt to find the booth, where they can catch an extended 30-minute gameplay presentation and pick up their own Fremkit swag bag. For those at home, the 30-minute presentation will be livestreamed by various content creators over the next few days, including Sacriel, Alphacast, and Mowky. Additionally, journalists and creators will get a chance to try a demo of Dune: Awakening behind closed doors, and share their impressions with the wider public.
