It’s been a long time coming but here we are!! The sands of Arrakis have opened, and Dune: Awakening has stumbled heroically—like a spice-drunk Fremen—into early access with a surprisingly smooth landing. While most online survival launches usually come with all the grace of a sandworm crashing a tea party, this one’s different.
Thanks to NVIDIA flexing its graphical muscles, the game looks nothing short of jaw-dropping. We're talking ultra-detailed caves, dunes, armor, and character models. The lighting and effects practically lets you see your future regrets glowing in the distance.
Even more shocking? The servers are holding nicely! No hour-long queues, no surprise disconnects—just sweet, uninterrupted exploration and goodies. It's as if the devs actually planned for success (gasp!). Whether you’re running from sandworms or griefers named “Baron420,” it’s been a smooth ride across the desert so far. And with gameplay that mixes survival, politics, and just the right amount of sci-fi existential dread, Dune: Awakening seems ready to turn early access into a glorious spice-fueled odyssey—assuming we don’t all starve to death crafting stillsuits first.
DUNE: AWAKENING is available now for Deluxe+ editions with the full game launching June 10th.
