Dune: Awakening developer Funcom has said it's "working on" issues that are bugging players when they head out into the Deep Desert, including respawn times.

The world of Dune is well-realised in multiplayer survival game Dune: Awakening, offering a harsh planet of braindead NPCs and plenty of grindy crafting.

Dune franchise composer Hans Zimmer shares an encouraging update about Dune: Messiah, but hints director Denis Villeneuve is being patient.
