Mark your calendars for May 20th, 2025, when Dune: Awakening hits PC via Steam. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions will follow later. While you wait, Funcom has rolled out the Character Creator and Benchmark Mode. This lets you craft your character in detail, choosing everything from appearance to home planet, caste, and mentor or class. These characters will seamlessly integrate into the full game upon release. Early birds will also snag an exclusive Frameblade knife skin, available at launch with a special code.
The Benchmark Sequence is designed to test your PC's performance, adjusting graphics settings to find the perfect balance. You'll journey through a player-built desert base, visit Harko Village—the bustling Harkonnen player hub—and face a colossal sandworm.
Priced at USD 49.99, you can soon pre-order the game on Steam. Pre-orders come with the Terrarium of Muad’Dib, a unique in-base decoration featuring the beloved desert kangaroo mouse.
