Dune Awakening Funcom, Lisbon

Company: Funcom was founded in 1993 and settled in Lisbon in 2019 through the acquisition of the ZPX studio. We were there in the early days of the MMOs, breaking new ground and pioneering features and business models that are commonplace today. We’ve gone from making pixel platformers on the SEGA Genesis to developing cuttingedge, cross-platform online games and massive open-world sandboxes for PC and consoles. We’ve made over 25 games, from NBA Hang Time on the SNES to more recent titles such as Conan Exiles, The Longest Journey, and Secret World Legends.

Highlighted Game: Inspired by Frank Herbert’s sci-fi masterpiece and the awardwinning blockbuster film by Denis Villeneuve, Dune: Awakening combines the grittiness and creativity of survival games with the social interactivity of large-scale, persistent multiplayer games to create an ambitious next step for open-world survival MMOs, coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Rise from survival to dominance in a vast and seamless Arrakis shared by thousands of players.
