00:01There is another path for you.
00:09Awake us.
00:21You begin as a nameless prisoner.
00:23Sculpt your appearance, choose your background, and then...
00:27Crash into the planet.
00:31You are abandoned and alone.
00:37Hunted by sandworms.
00:40Scorched by the unforgiving sun.
00:43Ravaged by sunstroke.
00:45Stick to the shade, chase the moving shadows.
00:49Survive.
00:51Welcome to Arrakis, the most dangerous planet in the universe.
00:58Meet hundreds of other players in the vast online world.
01:03Befriend or betray those you meet.
01:07Form a wary alliance.
01:09In this case, a spit dart rifle and a stillsuit
01:12for your help taking down territorial deserters.
01:16Working with others will always increase your chance of staying alive.
01:22The deserter base.
01:25Climb to a vantage point and prepare for violence.
01:32Your choice of weapons and abilities determines your strategy.
01:36Swordmasters lead the charge into battle.
01:39Literally.
01:41Repel ranged attacks with a shield and then take them out.
01:45One by one.
01:47Deploy the hunter-seeker and kill from the shadows.
01:51Take what you can from the fallen.
01:54On Arrakis, nothing of value is wasted.
02:00Mine, harvest and gather with your group
02:03to build bases and unlock more advanced equipment
02:06like the blood purifier.
02:09Refine the blood you collected from your enemies
02:11to extract drinkable water.
02:14Craft improved equipment using fabricators.
02:18Replicate your bases in new locations with the blueprint system
02:23and then sell blueprints of your architectural wonders
02:26to other players.
02:29Lead your group to become a guild.
02:31On Arrakis, a nameless prisoner can rise.
02:36Construct an ornithopter and take to the air.
02:40The world is yours to claim.
02:49The in-game radio provides insight into key events
02:53happening across Arrakis.
02:56Map the desert.
02:59Discover landmarks, wrecked ships and desert testing stations
03:04filled with forgotten technology.
03:09Arrakis is a vast planet.
03:12You can explore unique locations,
03:16uncover valuable resources
03:19and search for secrets amongst the shifting dunes.
03:25And then return to civilization triumphant
03:30with what you found.
03:33Harko Village throngs with people.
03:35Spice traders, guild bankers, smugglers,
03:40house envoys and, of course, other players.
03:46Here, you will pledge allegiance to one of the great houses of Dune,
03:51the Harkonnen.
03:55But remember, to play politics, you need power.
03:59And on Arrakis, spice is power.
04:04In the deep desert, beyond the shield wall,
04:07hundreds of players scour the landscape, hunting for spice.
04:11Every spice blow has the potential to become a heated battle
04:16with multiple guilds vying for the precious melange.
04:21Even when it looks like defeat is inevitable,
04:25those who understand desert power
04:28can awaken Arrakis itself.
