I do not like sand. It is coarse and tough and aggravating and it will get all over the place. So I can solely think about how completely, overwhelmingly irritating it might be on a planet like Arrakis, the place a sandstorm might fairly simply kill you. Or, I suppose I haven’t got to think about, as that is one thing you’ll be able to really expertise in Dune: Awakening. This can be a video we’re speaking about right here although, which means there are fixes for issues like these. Particularly, base constructing, which Funcom confirmed off in a brand new video of the multiplayer recreation yesterday.
Once you begin out, your base in all probability will not be all that fancy or helpful. If you happen to’ve acquired nowhere to retailer your bike, it will possible be wrecked by the point the storm’s died down. Over time you’ll be able to construct up larger and stronger bases, which you are able to do so both by your self or with buddies (or enemies, when you swing that approach). You may then align your self with one of many two predominant homes, Atreides or Harkonnen, permitting you to construct distinctive buildings relying on who you picked.
On prime of that, you’ll be able to construct and craft your individual automobiles. I usually detest when video games let me do that as they will usually be a bit too sophisticated, however judging from the trailer it nearly appears to be like like placing bits of Lego collectively, so I am right down to clown. If you happen to’ve constructed your base up sufficient, you’ll be able to put up shields so it would not get broken, however you will actually be taxed for this. At the least you will have a storage to retailer your cool automotive.
Any of your creations and bases may be changed into blueprints you could share with and even promote to different gamers. As soon as they’ve the blueprint, they will simply make the factor immediately. I am assuming you will nonetheless want some assets to do that, nevertheless it appears to be like cool! Sort of jogs my memory of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s Autobuild function, albeit a bit extra social.
As a reminder, when you checked out your calendar as we speak and thought “gee whizz, Could’s the month I get to play Dune: Awakening”, suppose once more, as final month the sport caught a three week delay. Which means you will be complaining about all that sand on June tenth. At the least it will be higher sand than it might have been in Could!
