Friends, I have consumed a lifechanging amount of mind-altering substances and reduced my brain to wet goo, and in return the tides of time have revealed to me the release date for Dune: Awakening, Funcom's survival MMO take on Herbert's sandy-verse that I had a surprisingly good time with at a demo last month. Now you're all the recipients of the same grand message, because the studio's gone and put out a release date trailer today.
Dune: Awakening hits PC on May 20 this year for $50, with console release dates yet to come. For some reason—probably because of my Pavlovian response to anything under the 'survival' rubric—I keep thinking of the game's launch as an early access thing, but that's not right. May 20 will be the game's full, 1.0 release. I didn't know we were allowed to do those anymore.
