Take a look at the 'Building Arrakis' Overview Trailer for Dune: Awakening, a multiplayer survival open-world game developed by Funcom. Players will claim a portion of the desert planet of Arrakis to build up a small shelter into a formidable stronghold. Get the rundown on how the building mechanics of Dune: Awakening can turn the tides of the power dynamics of Arrakis itself.
00:12The only hope for survival is to take shelter, and quickly.
00:18On Arrakis, exposure to the raw, unbridled elements is death.
00:24But walls alone will not save you from the maelstrom.
00:30You need power and the engineering of Chom to raise a protective shield against the storm.
00:38Without such protection, even the strongest walls will erode and fail in time, as will anything left in the open.
00:50Your exposed vehicle is beyond repair.
00:54But a lesson is learned.
01:00You need better protection against the dangers of Arrakis.
01:05It's time to upgrade your base.
01:09Base construction and expansion can be done alone, all together with others.
01:15With Solido Projections, building as a group is easy.
01:20To further customize your base, you must align yourself with one of the warring Great Houses, displaying your allegiance through their unique architecture.
01:32The Atreides welcome your aid.
01:38Swear your fealty to the Atreides, and rise to greatness on Arrakis.
01:43Your base serves as a reflection of both your influence and your allegiance to a faction.
01:53The safety provided by your base allows you to craft powerful new tools, technologies, and vehicles.
02:00Here we are crafting a ground car.
02:01Once each part of your vehicle is assembled, you can install modules to enhance its specialization further, and customize its appearance.
02:15By aligning with the Atreides, you have earned the option to craft their faction-specific ground car.
02:23Sector weather alert. Alarm sandstorm is approaching.
02:27On the horizon, another sandstorm approaches.
02:32But this time, you are prepared.
02:35Your base is equipped with powerful shields for protection, and a custom-built garage that will keep all your vehicles safe from the raging storm.
02:45The shields are vital, but they come with a cost.
02:54With a construction of this size, the Emperor demands attacks to keep your base running.
03:03You will construct grand bases.
03:06And in Dune Awakening, you will have the option to share them with others if you choose.
03:11Building copied.
03:14All your creations can be recorded as blueprints.
03:18These can be shared with allies, or even bought and sold on the exchange.
03:26Anyone holding a blueprint can instantly place a projection of the entire building,
03:32and construct an exact copy for themselves.
03:35Dune Awakening's building system allows for limitless creativity.
03:43Build your foundations strong, for your walls must stand against the unfathomable forces of Arrakis.
03:53You're Arrakis.
03:56Now, as long as you will, you will be moved out ...
03:58Heaven by the Cliff, and for youroto who is API.
04:00May the Cliff villains be upon us.
04:12May the Cliff Beauty and back to our firstvale question.
04:18With easy suohns, join our Netzford, fight ourselves on
