The latest world premiere to grace the stage at the PC Gaming Show 2025 is Wanderburg. In this day and age, there's no shortage of (admittedly fun) rogue-likes, even open-world ones. Like farming sims and deckbuilders, they're a dime a dozen, but I can't say I've ever seen a rogue-like where you cruise around in a castle with an appetite for just about anything. Developed by three-person German indie studio Randwerk, Wanderburg isn't your typical rogue-like.

Scavenging and exploring in the scorching sun of Arrakis is thirsty work, which is awkward as, y'know, it's a desert with little in the way of hydration. To get around this problem in Dune: Awakening, you can use blood purifiers to turn your enemies' blood into drinkable water. Is it disgusting? Completely. But it's also necessary to survive.

It shouldn't be all that surprising, but the dunes of Arrakis are massive, sandworm-infested, and can become a bit of a slog when you're trekking from one side to the other for quests and resources. But you don't have to walk it out. Dune: Awakening actually has fast travel, it's just hidden behind an NPC that you'll meet during a side quest.

The fight for survival starts right away in Dune: Awakening when you're suddenly given a daunting decision between using either a locked or unlocked research menu, with little context about what it actually does. With crafting being the main focus of a survival crafting MMO, it's pretty important to make the right choice for you. Below, I'll go over the differences between the locked and unlocked research modes, and how they impact your progression in Dune: Awakening.

Unlike most sandbox survival games, Dune: Awakening gives you a great deal of character customisation beyond just the appearance of your poor little survivor. After deciding on their look, you'll have an intense…discussion (read: interrogation) with the reverend mother, where you'll need to pick your homeworld, caste, and mentor. Each of these three character customisation options has an impact on your survivor's abilities in gameplay, whether it's during combat or conversation.
