Dune Awakening Verslaat Elden Ring Nightreign op Steam vóór Lancering!

Jun 04, 2025 2:08 PM

Dune: Awakening heeft Elden Ring Nightreign overtroffen op de Steam Top Sellers-lijst, nog voordat de game officieel is gelanceerd. Het spel staat slechts achter Counter Strike 2 op de bestellijst. Tijdens een gesloten weekend beta bereikte de game een piek van 37,889 gelijktijdige spelers. Dune: Awakening, ontwikkeld door Funcom, zal op 10 juni voor alle spelers beschikbaar zijn. Voor de Deluxe en Ultimate editie kunnen spelers al eerder toegang krijgen. De verhoogde belangstelling voor de game is een goed teken voor de lancering, vooral omdat de onlangs uitgebrachte Elden Ring Nightreign al een drastische verkoop terugval heeft gezien.

Wat maakt Dune: Awakening uniek in vergelijking met andere MMORPG's?

Dune: Awakening biedt een alternatieve geschiedenis van de beroemde sci-fi boeken van Frank Herbert, met gameplay die zich richt op een op survival gebaseerde ervaring. Het spel introduceert het Landsraad-systeem, dat samen met andere spelers taken en uitdagingen biedt binnen een dynamische serveromgeving. Dit voegt een extra laag strategie en competitie toe, wat het spel onderscheidt van traditionele MMORPG's.

Dune: Awakening is geïnspireerd op de recente films van Denis Villeneuve en beschikt over Rich graphics en gameplay-ervaringen. Funcom, bekend van titels als Conan Exiles en Anarchy Online, hoopt met deze titel een frisse wind te blazen in de wereld van MMORPG's door het combineren van survival-elementen met het bekendere verhaal en sfeer van de Dune-franchise.

It’s wild to see a survival MMO climb Steam charts this fast—guess the Dune hype is real, and survival fans are thirsty for something new. Here’s hoping the sandworms are as terrifying as the price tag.

Wow, Dune: Awakening topping Steam sales before launch shows how hungry players are for fresh survival MMOs—Funcom might have another hit like Conan Exiles on their hands.
