Dune: Awakening is less than two weeks from release. And from the extensive looks developer Funcom has provided in recent weeks, this fusion of MMO and survival RPG will be a smart and inventive spin on a game set in the world of Frank Herbert’s seminal sci-fi classic.
Like many other MMOs, Dune: Awakening’s end game will be centered on gathering the most valuable resource in the galaxy: spice. True to the books and film adaptations, spice is paramount to funding your fiefdom and fueling the most complex of gear and tech available. The place most abundant with spice, however, will be a hostile player versus player (PvP) territory known as the Deep Desert. While this zone will be where the most powerful players on a server risk it all for big rewards, the developers promise there will be alternative ways to gather endgame riches without being grieved by others surviving Arrakis.
