More details on Dune: Awakening from Tokyo

The Tokyo Games Show recently opened its doors, where the authors of the multiplayer survival simulator in the universe of Frank Herbert's books arrived. Funcom employees gave a short interview to Japanese journalists and talked about multiplayer, the desert world of Arrakis and starting content for players of different characters. There will be something to do for people who are used to conquest and those who just like to explore locations.

According to the game producer, the developers intend to make the virtual universe as beautiful as the films of Denis Villeneuve - the author of the successful adaptation of "Dune". But there will be a lot of interactions with objects in the desert, unlike in the movies. Multiplayer will be divided into zones by activity: there will be locations for PvP, places for passing PvE tasks, as well as such parts of the desert, where it will be possible to wander alone. Each gamer will be able to choose what style of play he likes best. There is a certain logic in the geography of zones: the more loot you plan to get, the more difficult challenges await you, and what can be more dangerous in an MMO than fighting with the heroes of other users?

The developers also told about pumping and contracts - missions of a special type. Having created a hero, everyone is free to choose a mentat to mentor him and allow him to acquire skills. In "Dune" mentats are people who under the influence of spice extracted on Arrakis developed extraordinary mental abilities. It would also be possible to join the teachings of the Bene Gesserit, who have achieved mastery in controlling mental reactions. Or become a Freeman. At the moment, the project is in the testing stage - they plan to release it in early 2025.
