Survive the most dangerous planet in the universe in Dune: Awakening for PlayStation 5, a massive Open World Survival experience developed and published by Funcom. Explore the legendary desert world of Arrakis in an adventure combining survival, exploration, crafting, base building, action and RPG gameplay, all wrapped around a cinematic alternate Dune storyline that asks: what if Paul Atreides was never born?

Explore vast deserts, seek shade and water to survive, harvest valuable resources and Spice, craft powerful equipment and establish your own stronghold. Build ground vehicles and even your own Ornithopter to soar across Arrakis, but always remain alert—the enormous sandworms are never far away. Master abilities inspired by the Schools of the Imperium, including the Bene Gesserit, Mentat, Swordmaster and Trooper.

The PS5 release also introduces a full Single-Player Mode, allowing you to experience the complete game, story and progression at your own pace. Alternatively, play with friends on a private server or enter larger multiplayer worlds. Single-player and private servers offer extensive difficulty and gameplay customization options.
