Funcom has announced that Dune: Awakening has been delayed until June 10th. The game was originally meant to come out on PC on May 20th. So, we’re looking at a one-month delay.
According to Funcom, this delay will give the devs the time to make improvements that will lead to a better gameplay experience from day one.
Dune Awakening promises to mix the cool stuff from sandbox survival games with the social fun of big multiplayer games. Or at least that’s Funcom’s intention. Just like other games, it’s got combat, experience points, a crafting system, as well as a base-building system. This isn’t my cup of tea but I can see why Funcom went into that MMO route.
Players will be able to craft their identity and build their prowess, from deep character creation to skills and abilities. Then, they’ll be able to search the deserts for massive spice blows to harvest the most valuable resource in the universe. Moreover, they’ll be able to create a guild and grow it into a House Minor by allying themselves with one of the Great Houses.
Dune Awakening will be powered by Unreal Engine 5, and it will take full advantage of both Nanite and Lumen. As NVIDIA has also revealed, the game will support DLSS 3 when it comes out. Plus, there will be support for DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Gen from the get-go.
Funcom has also shared the final PC system requirements for Dune: Awakening. To run it, PC gamers will at least need an Intel Core i5-7400 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or an AMD Radeon 5600XT. The game will also require 60GB of free disk space.
The devs recommend using an Intel Core i7-10700K or AMD Ryzen 5 2600X with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 or an AMD Radeon 6700XT.
Finally, you can download a free benchmark tool for it. This benchmark will most likely give you an idea of how the game will run on your PC system. So, make sure to get it if you are interested in this Dune MMO game.

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
