About Dune: Awakening
Dune: Awakening drops you onto the harsh desert world of Arrakis, where you act as a Bene Gesserit agent tasked with uncovering the missing Fremen and shaping your own destiny.
The game blends open‑world exploration, survival challenges, crafting, base building, and both solo and massive multiplayer experiences, all supported by extensive accessibility options and full controller support for players everywhere.
01 / THE GUIDE
Open World Exploration
Arrakis stretches from the bustling streets of Arrakeen to the remote Hagga Basin, with rolling dunes, hidden Fremen caves, and towering mountains awaiting discovery.
Climb peaks using the Shigawire hook, pilot a self‑crafted ornithopter, and watch sandstorms sweep the desert while sandworms roam beneath the surface.
- Visit Arrakeen at sunrise
- Use the hook for steep climbs

Survival Mechanics
Survival demands staying out of the scorching sun, seeking shade, and extracting liquid from fallen foes to refine into water.
Avoid roaming sandworms, learn the climate’s extremes, and master abilities from the Mentat, Bene Gesserit, and Swordmaster schools.
- Seek shade during midday
- Practice extracting water from enemies

- Start with simple gadgets
- Test vehicle controls before long trips
