Dune: Awakening släpps till konsolerna den 22 september
Funcom gjorde ett kort framträdande under Sonys stream i tisdags kväll för att meddela att deras MMO inspirerat av Frank Herberts verk, Dune: Awakening, ska släppas till Playstation 5 och Xbox Series S/X den 22 september.
Överlevnadsspelet (komplett med öppen värld) lanseras då dessutom med alla förbättringar från de uppdateringarna till PC-versionen. Funcom-chefen Rui Casais säger:
"But this launch is much more than just bringing the game to consoles. For Funcom, this is a major achievement, the result of over a year's work culminating in the launch of a new and improved Dune: Awakening - the best version yet of Dune: Awakening for PC and consoles."
Casais syftar även på det nya singleplayer-läget, som innehåller valbar svårighetsgrad och flera inställningar för att anpassa spelupplevelsen. Det innehåller också hela berättelsen från Book One, med ett dramatiskt avslut på Awakening och möjligheten att uppleva hela spelet i PvE. Den här versionen har byggts om från grunden för att ge spelarna en mer balanserad, realistisk och innehållsrik upplevelse.
Creative director Joel Bylos fyller dessutom i:
"Dune: Awakening offers the definitive way to immerse yourself in Arrakis and experience one of science fiction's most iconic worlds up close", och fortsatte med "For fans of the films, we'll also be releasing related content later this year."
Efter konsollanseringen den 22 september har Funcom även delat med sig av sina framtidsplaner. Dessa inkluderar en kostnadsfri uppdatering med en helt ny karta, The Polar Cap, inspirerad av Hagga Basin och belägen vid Arrakis pol.
Det verkar alltså som att vi kan stänga in oss under svinkall svensk höst för att istället få känna hettan från sanddynerna i Dune: Awakening.
Neues Minispiel im Gothic Remake: Wir knacken ein Schloss!
Im Gothic Remake wollen wir uns die Taschen vollmachen und ziehen daher am Ende von Kapitel 1 durch die Burg der Erzbarone im Alten Lager. Erst hebeln wir das Schloss einer Tür aus, dann machen wir uns an der Kiste mit Wertsachen zu schaffen.
Dabei erkennt ihr gut, wie die Mechanik zum Schlösser knacken funktioniert: Wir müssen die horizontalen Scheiben so ausrichten, dass die roten Pins aus den Löchern gucken. Haben wir das bei allen Scheiben geschafft, öffnet sich das Schloss. Wir sind bereits ein Meister im Schlösser knacken, sodass sich weniger Scheiben gleichzeitig verschieben und wir es insgesamt schon leichter haben.

Test debutant opener enjoyed a few breaks but showed he could handle himself when the odds are against him to offer hope for a longer stay in role
Emilio Gay lived three lives on Friday. The first ended in the 14th over, when he was on 20 and he leaned forward towards a ball from Matt Henry that zipped off the pitch, caught the edge of his bat and spat through the gap between first and second slip. The second finished in the 16th, when he had 24 and he played and missed another of Henry’s deliveries that jagged back and whacked into his front pad. The umpire gave him the benefit of the doubt, and New Zealand chose not to review it, a decision they were left regretting when moments later the TV replays showed they had been just as wrong as he had.
The third, and last, came later in the afternoon session, when Gay had reached 57, the highest score anyone had yet made in a match where batting has been almost insuperably difficult. He reached for a ball from Nathan Smith that held its line and edged a fine catch behind to Tom Blundell. This time Gay had to go. He rolled his head back in regret and stared at the sky a while, no doubt asking why he had allowed himself to be suckered into playing a delivery which would have passed harmlessly by wide of off-stump, then turned and made the slow walk back towards the Long Room doors.

Completing The Cult's Recipe in Gothic Remake is one of the necessary steps in impressing Diego enough to get you a recommendation to join the Old Camp. In this quest, Dexter asks you to head all the way to the Swamp Camp and steal Cor Kalom's recipe for creating mystical hallucinogens.
The trickiest part of this quest is actually getting to the Swamp Camp, since it's a dangerous route filled with enemies who'll kill you in one hit thanks to your lack of armor. So, here's how to get there safely, find the recipe, and even lockpick the chest containing it.
How to get to the Swamp Camp in Gothic Remake
After Dexter tasks you with stealing Cor Kalom's recipe, you'll have to find a way to the Swamp Camp. Before you do, though, make sure you have a couple of lockpicks—you can buy these from Mordrag in the same market area as Dexter if you head east past the fire pit towards the arena and look for him to your left, sitting on a bench in front of a shack. I'd also recommend grabbing a map of the Colony.
Now, you'll want to speak to Baal Parvez, the cultist with the face tattoos in the market area by Dexter, since he'll offer to escort you to the Swamp Camp and it's a dangerous journey. Follow and let him fight the harder enemies, though make sure you're close enough to get some XP. When you arrive in the camp, tell the Templars at the entrance you want to join, then head inside and ask Lester to show you to "Cor Kalom's Laboratory".
How to lockpick Cor Kalom's chest in Gothic Remake
The video above picks up where Lester drops you off. Head up the spiral staircase to the top to find the laboratory and Cor Kalom. His recipe is in the locked chest in the same room as the lab. The video shows how to pick the lock, and for some reason, Cor Kalom and his assistant don't really seem to mind. It doesn't matter too much if you're planning to join the Old Camp anyway, which if you're doing this quest, you are.
Grab the Old Recipe, then follow the route that you and Baal Parvez took to get back to the Old Camp—if you can't remember, use your colony map by pressing M. Make sure to stick to the path and keep running to avoid enemies. Give Dexter the recipe and he'll agree to put in a good word with Diego.

7 Minuten im Gothic 1 Remake im Vergleich mit dem Original: Na klar ist der Unterschied 25 Jahre später riesig, aber wir meinen wirklich riesig riesig!
Kommt mit auf einen kleinen Spaziergang durch die Welt von Gothic 1: Links seht ihr das Original von 2001, rechts die Neuauflage in Form des frisch erschienenen Remakes.
Die Welten sind sehr ähnlich aufgebaut, im Detail gibt es aber immer wieder Abweichungen bei der genauen Gestaltung und den Distanzen zwischen zwei Orten – vom generell riesigen Grafikunterschied mal ganz abgesehen.
Daher mussten wir in den Szenen hier und da teils etwas springen, damit wir uns stets möglichst an der gleichen Stelle im Original und im Remake befinden.
Da uns für das Remake außerdem keine Cheats zur Verfügung standen, bewegen wir uns manchmal etwas panisch durch die Welt auf der Flucht vor der ein oder anderen (sehr schnell tödlichen) Gefahr.
