Dune Awakening at Gamescom 2024
Dune Awakening has established a presence on the gamescom showfloor, and visitors can easily locate the booth by following the towering sandworm sculpture. At the booth, they can enjoy a 30-minute extended gameplay presentation and receive their own Fremkit swag bag. Sacriel, Alphacast, and Mowky will be among the content creators who will be livestreaming the 30-minute presentation over the next few days for those who are at home.
Additionally, journalists and creators will have the opportunity to experience a Dune: Awakening demo behind closed doors and share their thoughts with the general public.
Funcom's Dune Awakening, in collaboration with the Herbert Estate and Legendary, presents an alternative history in which Paul Atreides was never conceived. This allows players to determine Arrakis' future.
Joel Bylos, Creative Director at Funcom, said:
Revealing gameplay for the first time is always a big moment, especially in a game where the interplay between all these systems can create completely unexpected moments, but the team has done an incredible job, and we can't wait to see how the community reacts.
Sam Rappaport, Vice President of Interactive Media at Legendary Entertainment, said:
We are incredibly excited for gamers to get their first glimpse of 'Dune: Awakening' at gamescom. The game's authenticity and attention to detail successfully convey the richness and depth of the Dune universe in a manner that is reminiscent of the world beautifully presented in Denis Villeneuve's films. This game is a testament to the dedication of the developers and a thrilling new way for fans to engage with the iconic saga.
