"Dune: Awakening - Redefining Survival MMO Dynamics with Spice-Centric Gameplay"

During a Q&A session at the Game Developers Conference 2024, Dune Awakening Creative Director Joel Bylos clarified that the deep desert PvP map in the upcoming survival MMO is nine times the size of the Conan Exiles map. He explained that players can play as male characters with Bene Gesserit training, and detailed the game's server structure, map traversal, and focus on PvP and PvE content. Bylos also discussed future plans for adding sandworm riding, environmental changes, and potential expansion to other planets, while emphasizing that players can avoid PvP content if they choose. The game's full launch date remains uncertain as the team aims for a polished experience.
