Dune: Awakening’s Coriolis Storms Redefine the Map in New Exploration Video

Dune: Awakening is bringing Arrakis to life like never before, and a new exploration video reveals just how massive and unpredictable the desert world truly is. As Funcom prepares for the game’s May 20 launch, the latest trailer, “Exploring Arrakis – Secrets of the Desert,” highlights the freedom, discovery, and constantly shifting environment that make survival on Dune a brutal, ever-changing challenge.

Surviving an Ever-Changing World

Exploration is a key part of survival in Dune: Awakening, but Arrakis is far from predictable. Thanks to its Coriolis storms, the map itself changes over time, forcing players to adapt, explore, and claim new resources before they vanish beneath the sands.

  • Coriolis Storms Redefine the Map – These massive, planet-wide storms periodically bury old landmarks and reveal new locations, meaning no two explorations are ever the same.
  • Tools for Discovery – Use personal scanners, vehicle modules, or survey probes to uncover points of interest, including shipwrecks, ecology labs, and rare resource deposits.
  • Maps Have Value – Once the storms settle, players can scout the newly revealed terrain and sell fresh maps to other players via the in-game Exchange.

Prepare for Battle in the Next Video

While today’s showcase dives into Dune: Awakening’s exploration, Funcom has teased that the next video will focus on the game’s sandbox combat, giving a closer look at how battles unfold in the harsh deserts of Arrakis.

Dune: Awakening Launches May 20 – Character Creator Available Now

Dune: Awakening arrives on May 20, but players can start shaping their character now. The Character Creator & Benchmark Mode is available on Steam, letting players craft their avatar ahead of time and unlock the exclusive Frameblade Knife skin.

With the Deep Desert constantly shifting, only the most adaptable will survive. Stay tuned for more insights into Dune: Awakening’s world and mechanics as launch day approaches.
