Funcom Is Revving Up The Dune: Awakening Hype Engine With An Actual Trailer
After a seemingly endless parade of Dune: Awakening teasers, Funcom is finally looking to step up its marketing game with actual full-length trailers for the highly anticipated survival MMO. The studio is set to get the hype train well and truly rolling as the next Dune movie looms on the horizon.
To kick things off, Funcom will be hosting the first of its Dune: Awakening Direct showcases on March 4, at 9 a.m. PST, which will feature the game’s first official trailer and a behind-the-scenes look at Dune’s journey from best-selling novel to film and to video games.
“Dune: Awakening is an Open World Survival MMO, and this Dune: Awakening Direct aims to show you what we mean by that,” Funcom announced. “On Arrakis, you shape your own destiny by what you do. In the Game Trailer, we offer a taste of what it’s like to soar across open Dunes in your ornithopter, survive the sandworms, and build your first shelter.”
“Creating Worlds, from Book to Film to Game, features interviews with academy award-winning cinematographer on Dune: Part 1 and 2, Greig Fraser, and Funcom Creative Director, Joel Bylos, giving you a glimpse at what it takes to bring the ultimate Dune fantasy to life. You’ve read it, you’ve seen it, and in Dune: Awakening, you will live it,” the studio said.
As for the movie, Dune: 2 is set to premiere all across the globe on March 13, nearly three years after the first movie came out.
