Today, Funcom released its second Dune: Awakening Direct, where Game Director Joel Bylos revealed more details of the upcoming survival MMO.
With the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 rolling out at the Galaxy Unpacked 2024, the ongoing leaks and prototypes have revealed some key information regarding the design and other specifications, leaving little for the imagination or the big reveal. While this is not the first time prototype images have surfaced for the upcoming series, the recent leaked pictures of the dummy units showcase the inner and outer display of the devices, giving away particulars about the screen crease as well.
Ghouls are one of the franchise’s most enduring and inspired creations. A more sympathetic take on the zombie trope, they brilliantly evoke the horror, humor, and human tragedy at the core of the setting. But there are certain ghouls who, through sheer suaveness or sharp attention to post-apocalyptic fashion, have managed to stand out from the pack as some of the coolest characters in the wasteland.
We did not hear anything about Beyond Good and Evil 2 at the recent Ubisoft Forward showcase, or at any point during the recent Summer Game Fest blowout. In fact, we haven't heard anything about it for more than a year, and that wasn't really about the game so much as the reportedly awful working conditions at developer Ubisoft Montpellier. Prior to that, we kicked off 2023 by counting the number of times Ubisoft has promised that BG&E2 is still in development, which for the record was 28.
Another day, another unsanctioned early look at an unreleased Helldivers 2 stratagem. However, while there's a not-unrealistic chance that some earlier Helldivers 2 leaks came from inside the Arrowhead house, this first glimpse of an unannounced rocket launcher came from, well, inside the bigger house that's publishing the game. Sony did it, is what I'm saying, and seemingly without meaning to.
Though may be a game many Nintendo Switch owners haven't played in some time, there will always be something to do on the island. Whether it's adding that last fish or painting to Blathers' museum, reorganizing furniture and decorations within the player's home and across the island, or kicking old villagers out to replace them with fresh faces, there is always potential to return to the game. Even four years after its initial release, remains relevant.

Attention all you Arrakis fanatics (hey, it almost rhymes): we got another big look at Funcom's upcoming survival MMO Dune: Awakening today. First up, our own Joshua Wolens told us he's itching to play it after seeing a demo, despite being neither an MMO guy or a survival game fan.
