The highly anticipated survival MMO, *Dune: Awakening*, is set to launch in May, but eager players can already dive into the game's character creation process. This early access to character customization allows you to prepare for the immersive world of Arrakis before the game's official release. Let's explore what you can expect and how you can get started.

Dune: Awakening MMO Character Creation Now Open

Game Launches On May 20th

With the Character Creator, you have the freedom to personalize every detail of your character’s appearance. Additionally, you can select your home planet, caste, and a mentor or class, which will shape your journey within the game. Characters created now will be seamlessly imported into the full game upon release. As an added incentive, early character creators will receive an exclusive Frameblade knife skin, which can be redeemed at launch using a special code.

The Benchmark Sequence is designed to evaluate your PC's performance and automatically adjust graphics settings to ensure an optimal gaming experience. This sequence guides you through a player-built desert base, the lively Harko Village—a bustling Harkonnen player hub—and culminates in a thrilling encounter with a colossal sandworm.

Dune: Awakening will be available for purchase at USD 49.99. Pre-orders will soon be available on Steam, and those who pre-order will receive a unique in-base decoration called the Terrarium of Muad’Dib, featuring the beloved desert kangaroo mouse from the series.

Dune: Awakening Features An Alternate World

Inspired by Frank Herbert's iconic Dune novels and the subsequent movie adaptations, Dune: Awakening offers an open-world multiplayer survival experience set in the expansive universe of Dune. Players begin as prisoners tasked with unraveling the mystery of the Fremen's disappearance. The game's cinematic narrative follows your character's transformation from an unknown to a pivotal figure aligned with either the Atreides or the Harkonnen faction.

The game's setting, the vast and ever-changing desert of Arrakis, provides endless opportunities for exploration. Each week, new locations, challenges, and rewards emerge, prompting players to compete for the thrill of discovery. In Arrakis, you can construct bases, engage in combat, explore uncharted territories, and interact with other inhabitants. Forge your own legacy and climb the ranks in this dynamic world.
