Dune Awakening is now available for PC; here are the best settings for optimized performance on mid-end systems & Steam Deck.
Dune: Awakening thrives in atmosphere, worldbuilding, and survival depth, even if its combat and grind somewhat drag behind its setting and systems.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "There’s a lot of potential in here, and if you were a fan of Conan: Exiles‘ grindy loop, you’ll have a blast with Dune: Awakening, considering it’s a tad bit more forgiving than its predecessor. Oddly enough, however, the more you’re a fan of the Dune books, the more off-putting Awakening will become, considering its bizarre fanfic-y premise and ideas that just go against everything the books (and even the most recent movies) have been saying for the past half-decade. As a result, Dune: Awakening, whilst easily the best Dune game since the strategy titles from the early 90s, is more appealing to those just seeking for a new survival MMO, and not exactly die-hard fans of the seminal sci-fi franchise."
Based on the hit movie franchise and sci-fi novel by Frank Herbert, Dune Awakening lets players stray from the path of Paul Atreides and forge their own destiny on the planet of Arrakis. Here's an exclusive interview with the developers on what players can expect from Dune Awakening - which is out now on PlayStation, Xbox Series and PC.
