SURVIVE - EXPAND - CONTROL
These three keywords define the phases that form the core gameplay of Dune: Awakening.
First, we must survive; protect ourselves from scorching heat, learn how to find water, and avoid sandworms. Then, we begin establishing a base, building vehicles to explore the surroundings, expanding and developing our base, and perhaps even relocating to a more strategic point on the map. Finally, once we've uncovered what the world has to offer, we'll compete to take control of the Spice.
There are two obvious ways to avoid the heat: travel at night or stick to the shadows; the dynamic day-night cycle causes shadows to shift with the sun's movement. For situations where these options aren't available, we can enhance our heat resistance with a stillsuit or set up portable shelters using stilltents. We’ll learn how to craft these from Fremen rituals.

The game will feature various building sets. We'll start with a basic structure and gradually upgrade it. By joining factions like the Harkonnen or Atreides, we'll gain access to different building sets.
In dangerous regions of the map, we’ll attempt to collect flour sand, but the noise we make will inevitably attract the attention of sandworms.
And, of course, the most critical resource—Spice:
- We’ll need Spice residue to power our generators,
- It will be the key ingredient for high-tier equipment,
- We’ll need it to pay taxes to the Emperor,
- And we can sell it for good profit.
With numerous players on each server, there will be an in-game market designed for trading, and prices will be shaped by player interactions.
As an MMO, there are many more details, but the game is slated for an early 2025 release, with beta participation ongoing until then.
