Launch Trailer and OST Unveiled
Dune: Awakening, made by Funcom and inspired by Frank Herbert's sci-fi epic and Denis Villeneuve and Legendary Entertainment's films, offers an alternate Dune chronology where Paul Atreides was never born. At Summer Game Fest, the Launch Trailer brought Dune to life like never before.

Moreover, Funcom is delighted to announce that the full Dune: Awakening soundtrack can now be streamed on Spotify, Apple, and Amazon, including two bonus tracks played in the Story Trailer and Launch Trailer.
The OST, composed by prestigious composer Knut Avenstroup Haugen, was recorded in London's famed AIR Lyndhurst studio and distributed by Milan Records from Sony Masterworks.
Knut Avenstroup Haugen said:
Composing the soundtrack for Dune: Awakening has been an epic journey—one that challenged and inspired me in equal measure. I wanted the score to reflect the depth and mystery of the lore, as well as the haunting majesty of Arrakis. To contribute to the legacy of Dune in this way has been a true adventure—an experience I will always treasure.
Brand-New Dune Story
The first open-world, multiplayer survival game based on Arrakis tells a new Dune story. Dune Awakening unleashes players to Arrakis, the most perilous planet in the Known Universe and the spice's only source.
Learn to survive and succeed in a sun, cyclone, and sandworm-ruled planet with hundreds of other players. Survival is just the beginning. Control the spice and the Landsraad to affect each player of your selected faction, be it Harkonnen or Atreides.
Joel Bylos, Dune: Awakening creative director, stated:
With Dune: Awakening, we've done our best to recreate the Arrakis of the books and films in a video game. We're so excited for players to finally get their hands on the game and start exploring everything we've been working on.
Sam Rappaport, Legendary Entertainment - VP Digital, shared:
This game captures the awe and intensity of Arrakis like never before. It's a thrill to see fans dive into a living, breathing Dune world where every survival choice and strategic move carries weight. We're incredibly proud of this next chapter in the franchise's evolution, developed by Funcom.
Dune Awakening has no in-game store or subscription, like most DLC business models. Post-launch content includes complete DLCs (downloadable content) and free updates.
