I get that in-world the entire enchantment of Dune’s Arrakis is all of that spice it harbours, however to be sincere the enormous sandworms are a little bit of a dealbreaker for me. Even nonetheless, I’ve to admit that Dune: Awakening appears to be like fairly neat even with that ever current risk, and a brand new trailer all about exploring the desert planet that dropped this week has helped pique my curiosity a little bit additional. For starters, that desert bike appears to be like fairly nifty, my time in Sable taught me that I really like a superb zoom by stunning, sandy vistas, and this appears to be like to be related, even when Dune: Awakening’s world is a little more hostile.
I am glad that like many video games earlier than it, it is copying Breath of the Wild’s climbing so you may scale just about any clifface.

Many of the instances storms in video video games are nearly blocking your imaginative and prescient, stopping you from going someplace, possibly making it tougher so that you can be seen by enemies and vice versa, however Dune: Awakening’s coriolis storms change the complete map each single week. Being a web based survival recreation, clearly that is one thing to maintain gamers coming again in order that it feels recent week to week, but when Funcom can execute it nicely it might make for an attention-grabbing time, the complications for cartographers apart.
For those who’re keen to leap into the sport, you may’t fairly do this but as a result of it isn’t out till Could twentieth. Nonetheless! You’ll be able to already make your character forward of its launch, so you have acquired loads of time to make a cooler, extra sci-fiy model of your self, or some nightmarish creation you publish on social media for 11 likes.
