Character Creation Now Live for Dune: Awakening

Scheduled for May 20th, 2025 on Steam with console versions coming later, Dune: Awakening offers early access to its Character Creator and Benchmark Mode. Players can finalize their Arrakis-bound personas while testing their PC's performance capabilities.

The detailed character customization includes physical appearance adjustments, homeworld selection, caste choices, and mentor affiliation. Early adopters will receive an exclusive Frameblade knife skin redeemable at launch.

The Benchmark Mode automatically optimizes graphics settings while taking players through desert bases and Harko Village, culminating in a dramatic sandworm encounter.

Blending Frank Herbert's novels with cinematic influences, this survival MMO begins with players investigating the Fremen disappearance before choosing allegiances with major factions.

The ever-changing desert world of Arrakis offers weekly discoveries, base building opportunities, intense combat scenarios, and social interactions that determine each player's unique legacy.
