Insight Editions has released a first look at The Art and Making of Dune: Awakening. The hardcover artbook, arriving in stores on October 21, 2025, will take readers on an epic journey through the creation of this recently-launched survival MMO game, that was inspired both by Frank Herbert’s original Dune novel and Legendary Entertainment’s award-winning movie adaptations.
This book will feature never-before-seen concept art that re-imagines Arrakis from the ground up, from the depths of the Hagga Rift to the peaks of the Hand of Khidr. It contains exclusive interviews, with insights from the development team, on adapting the Dune universe to the video game medium and creating an entirely new entry in the ongoing saga of the Imperium.
Readers get an in-depth look at the peoples, places, and adventure that define Dune: Awakening, including its compelling characters, detailed environments, and gameplay mechanics. Behind-the-scenes content offers fun facts and details regarding the game-making process, highlighting the hard work and talent it took to build such an immersive online experience.
