Navigating the harsh and unforgiving landscape of Arrakis can prove challenging, especially early on in the game when you have limited supplies and resources at your disposal. And, if you die trying to traverse the desert, there are serious consequences, namely, losing some of your gear.


One of the key mechanics at your disposal in Dune Awakening vehicles: Awakening comes in the form of Research. While you also have a skill tree and other combat mechanics you can unlock, your gear is your most important asset. And, the only way to get more gear is to research new technol


When it comes to the giant sandworms shown in the Dune Awakening trailer , players won't be able to tackle them head-on. Instead, surviving the worms is much more based around avoiding them entirely through things like where players place their base. It's possible that fights with the smaller sandworms that populate the world are still on the table, though that wasn't confirmed in the presentat

There are dozens of incredibly tall cliffs and rock formations all across the world of Dune . You can climb these very easily, as mentioned before, but it can be hard to get down at times. This is a shame, as climbing these structures gives you access to various resources and can cut down on traversal time.

When talking about future plans, "you can go places," Whelan said vaguely. "There's nothing really stopping us from doing that. There's nothing technically stopping us from going to other planets in the future. It's such a wide universe that they've created. I just want to work on a place with trees, so there's no end to what we can do. It's great. It's a great license for th

Discovering these locations is important for two reasons. One, you'll get access to various contracts which can get you extra money. Two, you'll also meet NPCs who can give you varoius quests, which can unlock important resources, abilities, and gameplay mechan


Dune: Awakening is branding itself as " the most ambitious survival game ever made ," and whether it lives up to those lofty expectations or not, it's certainly swinging for the fences. The basic survival gameplay loop depends on the core tenets that define Arrakis , forcing players to avoid the sun's intensity, extract and preserve water, and steer clear of sandworms. The desert itself isn't stagnant, either, with Coriolis storms used as a mechanic to change up the environment and opportunities week by w


Anyone planning to play Dune: Awakening at launch might do well to take advantage of the early Character Creator release, as there's more to do than just swap out some hairstyles. The Gom Jabbar test makes an appearance in the character creation process, as do the options to choose background characteristics like home planet and caste. A mentor can also be chosen from the available Schoo

Doing so not only gets you access to plenty of additional resources for your journey but also can cut down on traversal time. Many rock formations have caves that you can enter, allowing you to run through the entire structure and stay in the shade. This is a fantastic boon when you're about to die of sunstroke.


Thankfully, Dune: Awakening has enough to attract even survival game sceptics. "I think so. I hope so," Whelan said when I asked if the third-person shooting and multiplayer aspects are enough to entice fans of those gen


Overall, there is a unique class for just about every style of gameplay in _Dune: Awakening, _ and the ability to invest skill points in any of the different class trees opens up diverse playstyle choices. You don't need to focus entirely on your starting character's skill tree, though often this is the most straightforward option. Regardless of how you choose to play, it's a good idea to eventually choose and equip abilities from each class to get the full range of advantages during your journey to wake the Slee

That's why we've created this list. If you want to make it from your sub-fief to another part of Arrakis' ever-changing desert, you'll need these tips and tricks to help you successfully and safely make your way across the planet.


"Working on movie licenses is problematic. I've worked with movie licenses in the past, and it's always hard to get information from the production team," Whelan told me. However, he said that Legendary has been "very good at keeping a connection with us. Feeding us information, giving us concepts, giving us production designs, all the way through to talking to the cinematographer, Greg Fraser. He’s a fantastic guy, really easy to talk to once I got past my fear of who he is, a double Oscar winn


That's why we've created this list. While many of the below tips and tricks can be triggered and tracked through the game's main storyline, you can also deviate from these guidelines to pursue your own goals. With that in mind, here's what to do first in Dune: Awaken
