Dune Awakening Related Lore Facts: What Are The Benefits Of Knowing Them For Gaming Experience?

Posted: Jun 17, 2025 Views: 15

Nowadays, it is becoming more and more common for games to be adapted into film and television works/animation, or vice versa, and this practice can even be traced back to the 1980s and 1990s. Dune series is one example.

As one of the classic science fiction novel series, Dune was adapted into a game as early as 1979, and more than a dozen game works were born one after another. The latest is Dune: Awakening released on June 10, 2025.

The biggest difference between Dune Awakening and other Dune games is that its storyline only borrows part of the novel settings, and does not directly let you play the famous novel characters. However, if you want to better understand the game settings, it is still necessary to know some of the background stories.

Mysterious And Important Spice

Even if you don’t know the story of Dune, you will find that spice is the most important Dune: Awakening item soon after starting the game, because if you take it frequently, you will not only gain special powers, but also prolong your life-the side effect is that it is addictive.

But understanding its function is one thing, and what is really interesting is that it is this special function that caused various power struggles in the original work. Because the emperor holds the secret of spice, all families have to obey him.

Although these background settings will not affect your experience of spice intake in the game, they will help you to have a deeper understanding of this item, at least you will not panic because your eyes suddenly turn blue-this is also one of the side effects.

The Game Belongs To A Parallel World Line

The main story of other Dune derivative games is mostly based on different novels in the series, but Dune: Awakening sets up a parallel world that is almost not closely related to all Dune novels.

In Dune Awakening, there is no absolute protagonist, no individualistic hero. Everything is just based on the planet Arrakis and the struggle between House Atreides and House Harkonnen.

But there is no doubt that even so, these basic settings are also derived from the original novel. So if you have a preliminary understanding of Dune series or read/watch the novels or adapted movies, you can adapt to Dune: Awakening more quickly.

Origins Of Different Factions

As we have already introduced, the game mainly includes two factions, Atreides and Harkonnen, whose fight set off War of Assassins on the planet. If you want to manipulate your character to find the final truth, you must join a faction or form your own faction.

Strictly speaking, the choice of faction will not have a significant impact on your overall game experience, but because of their different positions in the novel, if you care more about “whether it is justice”, knowing the background story of Atreides and Harkonnen can help you make the right faction choice.

Since Dune: Awakening is a parallel world without Paul Atreides, there may be characters in the game that are not in the original work. If you want to create your own faction, you can unify these forces and form a Dune Awakening faction that belongs only to you.

All About Fremen

One of your main quests in Dune Awakening is to find out where the native Fremen have gone - have they migrated deeper into the desert, or have they disappeared completely? To do this, you need to complete 8 Trials of Aql.

In the process of investigation, you will not only gradually learn to balance the benefits and side effects of spice, but also get a lot of clues about Fremen. If you have already learned the relevant information, it will be easier to understand Fremen story told by Dune Awakening.

What Is Sandworm?

When you encounter PVE gameplay such as random battles in Dune Awakening, the most common enemy types you may encounter are sandworms, in addition to various humans.

Sandworm is called Shai-Hulud by Fremen. It is a giant worm living in the desert that can threaten your life (eat you to make you lose everything). But interestingly, it is also one of the sources of rare resources spice: the excrement of young sandworms mixed with sand will form spice.

Dune Awakening Sandworm

In Dune movie, the protagonist Paul Atreides even mastered the special ability to ride sandworm because of his extraordinary talent and special connection with spice. Although Dune Awakening has not yet launched this gameplay, it does not mean that it will not be available later.

Class-Based Background Story

At the beginning, the game will ask you to choose your starting class, in the form of a Reverend Mother interrogation, including Swordmaster, Mentat, Bene Gesserit, Trooper, or Planetologist. This determines your available skills and origin planet.

Although your origin background will not change your gameplay, it will help you understand additional knowledge related to your class. Or you can also look for relevant clips in novels or movies after determining your class.

In general, both the movie and the novel itself are part of the entire Dune series. The more you know, the more it will help you adapt to the mechanism of Dune Awakening.
