Dune: Awakening Releases May 20

Dune: Awakening takes place in an alternate timౠeline from Frank Herbert's novels and Dennis Villeneuve's film adaptations. In Awakening, the Fremen have disappeared from the planet's surface. Paul Atreides was never born, and Lady Jessica instead birthed a daughter. Leto Atreides survived his assassination attempt and now wars against the Harkonnens over control of Arrakis. Your character in Awakening is a prisoner dr🔜afted in to help investigate the disappearance of the Fremen, and will eventually side with one of the warring noble houses.

The abo𒁏ve trailer shows off some examples of the characters you can mould in Dune: Awakening's character creator. Releasing the character creator before a game's final release is becoming an increasi🌌ngly popular trend, as it gives players a system to explore while they wait for the full release.
