How co-op works
Friends cooperate inside mandatory shared servers rather than a private campaign, forming parties or guilds to gather water and spice, build and refine at communal bases, explore PvE facilities, and fight NPCs. Hagga Basin is primarily PvE; the Deep Desert also introduces large-scale PvP competition.
About this game
Set on the desert world of Arrakis, Dune: Awakening drops players into a harsh survival sandbox where every resource matters and danger lurks beneath the sand. You can tackle the open world alone or join forces with friends online, building bases, crafting gear, and navigating a cinematic story that ties into the legendary Dune universe. The multiplayer leans heavily on cooperative teamwork rather than competitive combat.

Crafting stations, base construction, and RPG progression systems let you specialize roles within your group, making communication and resource sharing essential for long-term survival.
Dune: Awakening supports online co-op on PC, letting you team up with friends to face the planet's threats together. Sessions can range from quick harvesting runs to marathon base-building projects, and the open-world structure rewards groups who coordinate closely and plan ahead.
