You Probably Won't Survive In Dune: Awakening If You Don't Pay Your Taxes
15.7.2025
It often feels like the entire world around you is conspiring to bring about your demise. On Arrakis, that’s true. Between the sandworms and the other deadly players, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone or anything friendly. Even worse, your only haven—the base you build—isn’t free or safe....
Forget About The Damn Spice And Focus On Your Thirst Meter In Dune: Awakening
9.7.2025
Arrakis is an unforgiving planet, characterized by its vast desert and rocky terrain. Its only redeeming quality is in its spice, but that’s secondary to your need to survive. You require water. Without a constant supply of hydration, the massive sandworms roaming the dunes will be the least...
Dune: Awakening PVP Players Are Finding New Ways To Grief Fans: Boxes
9.7.2025
I love when things start going off the rails in an MMO, and while Dune: Awakening’s ongoing Deep Desert troubles are frustrating for fans, they’re also a fascinating experiment in balancing competing player incentives. Developer Funcom recently nerfed the endgame area’s PVP potential, turning...
Dune: Awakening: Is Fast Travel Worth It?
7.7.2025
Until you unlock some of the better vehicles in Dune: Awakening, like an Ornithopter, you’ll travel most of the desert either on foot or via four wheels, always racing ahead of a sandworm. But hear this: You’re not driving all the way to Arrakeen easily. It’s quite the distance. Thankfully, for...

7.7.2025
Have you seen the size of Arrakis? It’s an absolute unit of a planet, covered primarily in rock and desert, with giant sandworms, spaceships, and bandits who all want you dead. It’s not a happy place. And if you were forced to walk every step of the way to the Deep Desert, for one, you wouldn’t...
How To Survive Dune: Awakening Long Enough To See The Spice Wars Unfold
24.6.2025
Following the game’s relatively short introduction, in which you create your character and their background, you’re dumped into the desert unceremoniously; the world of Arrakis sprawls as far as the eye can see. It’s daunting. And it feels like everything and everyone you encounter wants to kill...
Can You Solo Dune: Awakening?
23.6.2025
Can you imagine wandering the world of Arrakis on your own? It’s a daunting prospect, considering the size of the sandworms below and the spaceships above all vying for your head. Thankfully, Dune: Awakening offers options. You’ll always play on a server with other people, but how social you want...
Dune Awakening: How Long Until You Hit The Endgame?
20.6.2025
If you’re a fan of previous Funcom titles, such as Conan Exiles, then you know the lore, while interesting in small doses, isn’t the focal point. It’s just the flavoring helping you immerse yourself in the sprawling landscape. In Dune Awakening, the story takes a high seat at the table, but it’s...

13.6.2025
In a crowded field full of online survival sims, Dune: Awakening is kicking up storm.

That last part has become a problem, and the developers are already looking into...
Dune Awakening Proves A Massive PC Hit, Despite Competition From Switch 2 Release
6.6.2025
Realizing your big-budget, high-risk online game is coming out at the same time as the most anticipated new console in half a decade can’t be a great feeling. But I bet discovering that nearly one hundred thousand people played it at the same time anyway, almost a week before it’s officially...
The Last Of Us Has Us Wishing These 8 TV Shows Were Video Games
11.3.2025
The best TV shows create fictional worlds you want to explore and characters you sometimes want to be. That’s part of the reason why every show from The Sopranos and Lost (in the PS2 era) to M*A*S*H (way back on the Atari 2600) have been turned into (mostly pretty lousy) video games. (Of course,...
Fan Makes Incredible Fantastic Four Popcorn Buckets That Will Probably Be Way Better Than The Ones We Actually Get
13.2.2025
Novelty popcorn buckets have become an almost essential piece of movie marketing in the last year. We can probably thank the Dune: Part Two bucket for this, made to look like one of its grody sandworms but, well, becoming famous for other reasons, as its virality is what got every movie exec...
