(New Gameplay) The Sandworms are like SHARKS in DUNE Awakening	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MJxNjlzzd4	Pre-Beta	March 27th, 2024	Interview with Joel: DA timeline & canonicity Spice use will change the player (unclear how this effects gameplay) Multiple sandworms will appear when enough players are on the open sands Sandworms are invincible Stillsuits will make water management easy outside of crafting You will be downed in combat as long as you have water You can self-revive or be revived by allies (if you have water) Some Brian Herbert content will be in DA NOTE: PvP preying is not something Funcom wants to encourage
Dune: Awakening Interview: Will Release "When it's Ready"	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bG9kfpv43h4	Pre-Beta	March 27th, 2024	Interview with Natascha Röösli: There will be player hubs, main quests, & NPCs DA will provide a huge open world environment You have to manage your water to avoid dying of thirst There is mining, base building, and crafting You can do contracts for NPCs in addition to the "main quest" Later in the game after acclimating to Arrakis players will be encouraged to form guilds and begin to interact with the political system of DA PvP is about fighting over resources and (political) objectives as opposed to base raiding or claiming land PvP is designed to be voluntary When you build your first base there is a force field that protects it from being destroyed as long as you power it "Kanly" is enforced as well so PvP won't really be an option in the starting zones Some zones are more PvE or PvP focused and you'll be alerted as you move from one to another The end game is all about rising throw the ranks of your faction empowering it on Arrakis Funcom is focused on "mak[ing] the game fit the lore not the lore fit the game" Any adjustments to the lore go through the Herbert estate or Legendary DA's lore is more in-line with the books while it's artstyle heavily borrows from the Denis Villenueve films There will be Muad'dibs in DA, and donkeys in stillsuits
