I do not like sand. It is coarse and tough and aggravating and it will get in all places. 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 truly expertise in Dune: Awakening. It is 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.
Whenever you begin out, your base most likely will not be all that fancy or helpful. When you’ve received nowhere to retailer your bike, it’s going to seemingly be wrecked by the point the storm’s died down. Over time you’ll be able to construct up greater and stronger bases, which you are able to do so both by your self or with pals (or enemies, if you happen to swing that approach). You’ll be able to then align your self with one of many two major homes, Atreides or Harkonnen, permitting you to construct distinctive constructions relying on who you picked.
On high of that, you’ll be able to construct and craft your individual autos. I usually detest when video games let me do that as they’ll typically be a bit too sophisticated, however judging from the trailer it virtually seems to be like placing bits of Lego collectively, so I am all the way down to clown. When you’ve constructed your base up sufficient, you’ll be able to put up shields so it would not get broken, however you may actually be taxed for this. At the very least you may have a storage to retailer your cool automobile.
Any of your creations and bases may be became blueprints that you may share with and even promote to different gamers. As soon as they’ve the blueprint, they’ll simply make the factor immediately. I am assuming you may nonetheless want some sources to do that, nevertheless it seems to be cool! Form of jogs my memory of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s Autobuild function, albeit a bit extra social.
As a reminder, if you happen to checked out your calendar at the moment and thought “gee whizz, Might’s the month I get to play Dune: Awakening”, assume once more, as final month the sport caught a three week delay. Which means you may be complaining about all that sand on June tenth. At the very least it’s going to be higher sand than it could have been in Might!
