Dune: Awakening
Dune: Awakening is an open-world survival MMO set on the desert planet Arrakis. Players create a custom character and must manage thirst, maintain stillsuits, and contend with environmental hazards like sandstorms, extreme heat, and roaming sandworms. The game involves scavenging resources, crafting equipment, building shelters, and competing with other players to harvest and transport spice. As players progress, they advance through phases from basic survival to leading a guild, eventually participating in faction warfare between House Atreides and House Harkonnen. The game features both PvE and PvP zones, with a Deep Desert area that reshapes weekly through Coriolis storms.

Storyline
In an alternate timeline where Paul Atreides was never born, Lady Jessica obeys the Bene Gesserit and bears a daughter named Ariste instead of a son. Her loyalty earns her training as a Truthsayer, and she uncovers the betrayal of Dr. Wellington Yueh before it can unfold. House Atreides survives under Duke Leto's leadership but becomes locked in a prolonged War of Assassins against House Harkonnen on the desert planet Arrakis. Meanwhile, the Fremen have vanished following a brutal purge by the Emperor's Sardaukar forces. Into this fractured world, a lone agent working undercover for the Bene Gesserit arrives on Arrakis with a singular mission: find the missing Fremen and awaken the Sleeper. The desert holds its secrets tightly, and the political machinations of the Great Houses threaten anyone caught between them.
