You feel the sand beneath your feet. The wind howls across endless dunes.

And out there, somewhere, an adventure is stirring – making waves before it’s even begun.

Welcome To Arrakis – Where You’re Not Just Playing A Game

Dune: Awakening isn’t your typical survival MMO. It’s a universe that pulls you in – with sand, story, and suspense.

You fight for resources, carve out your own path in an open world, and become part of a game where power, loyalty, and survival are tightly interwoven.No cookie-cutter quests, no generic open world – but a game that feels like Dune: harsh, political, dangerous.And yet, full of possibility.
