'Dune Awakening' Finally Gets Dune's Epic Scale Right
Briefly

Dune Awakening is Funcom's latest MMORPG, set on the hostile planet of Arrakis. Within just two weeks of its launch, the game attracted over a million players, making it Funcom’s fastest-selling title. Players experience the oppressive heat and arid conditions through engaging mechanics like resource management and hydration, enhancing immersion. The game combines elements from successful titles such as crafting and base-building from Minecraft and survival aspects akin to Left 4 Dead, creating a distinctive experience that resonates with fans of the Dune universe while retaining addictive gameplay loops.
"It's now Funcom's fastest-selling game ever. To put it into perspective, it took Conan Exiles one year to reach this number. We're truly humbled and thankful for this reception."
"Dune Awakening smashes together a ton of successful ideas from other popular games. It doesn't exactly break these well-established molds, but the fact that Awakening is all filtered through the lens of the increasingly popular Dune universe adds just the right amount of novelty."
