The creators of longtime survival MMO Conan Exiles – Funcom – have just shown off the upcoming Dune: Awakening, so it’s time for us to delve into some release date speculation, as well as taking a look at the pre-order situation, gameplay details and a trailer to cap it all off.
If you’ve come out of the cinema thoroughly impressed by Denis Villeneuve’s Arrakis follow-up Dune: Part Two, then you’ll be delighted to know that Dune: Awakening offers players the chance to forge their own story on the spice-rich and blood-soaked planet.
Though the books are the original source material, the game looks to take a lot more visual cues from Villeneuve’s adaptation – so fans of the underwear-clad Sting in the 1984 David Lynch film may be in for disappointment.
There’s plenty to be getting through, and as they say on Arrakis – the content must flow. Or, something to that effect anyway. Read on!
Currently, there is no confirmed release date announced for Dune: Awakening.
On the game’s Steam page, the release date is marked as «To be announced» — but you can add it to your wishlist.
It would’ve been quite the coup for the game to land around the same time as Dune: Part Two to catch the excitement, but the new interest in the source material will likely see a good number of people’s interest piqued by the survival MMO.
You can, however, sign up for the Dune: Awakening beta on the official site if you want to get in on the fun early and help shape how the game turns out.
When there is a release window or concrete date announced, we will update you.
Until then, you can check out all the great upcoming games that will no doubt keep you busy until then.

Yes, you can pre-order Dune: Awakening for PS5 or Xbox Series X/S now from GAME.
As there is no properly announced pricing, you may end up getting it for cheaper for PS5 or Xbox owing to GAME’s pre-order price guarantee — which means you will either be charged what was originally listed or less if it turns out to be cheaper.
Unfortunately, there is no pre-order available for PC, but you can hop over onto the CDKeys page and request to be notified when the ability to do so goes live.
Dune: Awakening is coming to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
This shouldn’t come as too big of a surprise if you’ve seen the gameplay reveal, as the graphics look to be top-tier stuff.
You probably won’t be shocked, either, to hear the game is using Unreal Engine 5 to bring Arrakis to life.
All this resoundingly leaves the last-gen consoles such as the PS4 and Xbox One to,
