Final preparations for the release of Dune: Awakening

Already on June 10, fans of the universe of "Dune" will go on an unforgettable adventure, prepared by employees of Funcom studio. But while Dune: Awakening, multiplayer survival simulator on a desert planet is preparing for release, its developers share important information. In particular, they published information about Empire schools, Landsraad meetings and pre-download conditions. Let's cover this news in more detail.

From the Imperial schools, infantrymen and mentats have received coverage. The former rely on weapons and explosives in combat, and activate Holtzmann force fields to protect themselves from damage. In their arsenal there is a shigacord hook for quick movement on short distances and stun enemies, as well as anti-gravity generator - in general, you can fly like sardaukars or soldiers Harkonnenov in the screen version of Denis Villeneuve. Mentats are known to have their own merits. After the banning of intelligent machines, it was these people who became responsible for all calculations, intelligent operations, intelligence and counterintelligence. In the game, the adepts of the Order track the enemy's movements with a special projector, use poisons and shields based on the Holtzmann field.

Landsraad in Frank Herbert's books is a council of leaders of the Great Houses ruling the Dune universe. In the game, it will be implemented as a deliberative body and a source of quests for guilds organized by gamers. Here it will be possible to vote for House Atreides, for example. But to gain votes (and political weight) it will be necessary to perform special tasks from the great houses - at the same time activity will bring other rewards. Access to Dune: Awakening will be available to pre-orderers starting June 5. On that day it will be possible to make a preload and get a terrarium with a kangaroo mouse to decorate the base.
