Dune: Awakening is shaping up to be an exciting survival MMO with a strong emphasis on combat. The game’s third-person combat system looks to capture the fighting elements seen in the Dune universe, including hand-to-hand battles and vehicle engagements. The “combined arms” approach allows players to mix melee, ranged, abilities, and vehicles in combat, providing a diverse and dynamic experience. Players can learn abilities from different Great Schools in the Dune universe, allowing for a variety of combat styles. The game will also feature sci-fi weaponry such as lasguns and shields, staying true to the Dune lore without the risk of accidental nuclear explosions. Players will have the freedom to mix and match abilities from different schools to create their own unique combat style. In the late game, players will venture into the deep desert for PvP encounters, where a changing map due to a massive storm will uncover new opportunities and challenges each week. This adds an element of strategy and competition as players race to claim rare items, schematics, and spice while facing off against each other. Overall, Dune: Awakening seems to offer a promising and immersive combat experience within the rich and unforgiving world of Arrakis. With its sandbox combat approach and diverse range of gameplay elements, it’s definitely a game to keep an eye on for fans of the Dune universe and survival MMOs.
