The upcoming artbook for the survival video game Dune Awakening now has an official front cover, as spotted on retailer listings.
The Art and Making of Dune Awakening, from publisher Insight Editions (Titan Books in the UK) and game developer Funcom, is set for release on October 21st and comes as a 224-page hardcover. The book will feature the concept art and illustrations for the world of Arrakis, as well as insights and interviews for the making of the survival multiplayer game.
The updated cover can be seen below and shows two pieces of environmental art, a simple yet great way of giving fans an idea of what to expect inside. It also puts the names of the contributors on the cover too, starting with the author Andrew Farago and Joel Bylos, the Creative Director of Dune Awakening, who provides the foreword.
Noted as well are the four people that give introductions, first being Brian Herbert, the son of Dune creator Frank Herbert, who also wrote books for the Dune series. Kevin J Anderson is also credited and is the co-author of the Dune prequel series. Last is Byron Merritt and Kim Herbert, grandchildren of Frank Herbert and producers of the recent Denis Villeneuve movies and the HBO series, Prophecy. This is an impressive group of names, highlighting the support Awakening has received from some of the minds behind the Dune universe, but also the family of its creator.
Dune has found popularity among newer audiences recently because of the Denis Villeneuve film adaptations of Frank Herbert’s classic novel. Dune Part One, Part Two, and the prequel series Prophecy are already available, with Part Three planned for release in theatres on December 18th 2026.
Dune Awakening was officially launched on PC on June 10th 2025 and console versions are expected to be released in 2026. The game from Funcom is an online survival third-person game set on the harsh world of Arrakis. Players must survive the desert planet and the threats that come from other players, sandstorms, and of course, giant sandworms. This involves crafting, combat, and exploration of the large world the developers created, allowing people to get fully immersed in their take of the Dune universe.
