The sands of Arrakis have been eerily calm in Dune: Awakening, as the mighty sandworms were nowhere to be found. The first players have been enjoying the survival MMO pre-launch, and they noticed a significant lack of slithery behemoths, prompting a message from developer Funcom to explain what’s happening.
Those who preordered Dune: Awakening got access on June 5, just a few days ahead of the June 10 launch. During this preview, people realized that, somehow, the gigantic worms had vanished.
