Dune: Awakeningis one of 2025’s most anticipated games. This open-world survival MMO drops players into the brutal deserts of Arrakis, where managing thirst, avoiding sandstorms, and dodging deadly sandworms are key to survival.
Players start by customizing their avatar, choosing a background, and selecting a mentor that grants unique starting abilities, like theBene Gesserit’s“Voice.” Scavenging for resources, building shelters (and paying taxes to the Emperor), and competing for spice are core gameplay elements. Sandworms can be used strategically with thumpers but are a constant threat.
As players progress, they gain new weapons, gadgets, and spice-fueled powers—though addiction comes with a cost. The latest beta weekend is live now, with thousands already exploring Arrakis.
