It’s impossible to miss Dune: Awakening at this year’s PAX East in Boston. How could you when there’s a massive sandworm coming up out of the exhibition floor? Shai-Hulud stands out even at a massive expo hall. The dozens and dozens of stations offering fans an early chance to play the game help, too. That’s what I got to do when I stopped by during the convention’s first day. I’m not very experienced with open-world games, but I certainly know Arrakis.
