Dune: Awakening Announces Free Play Weekend and Chapter 2 Update

Experience Arrakis Without Limits: Free Play and Discounts Await!

Unrestricted Access to the Sands of Arrakis

For a brief period next week, the desolate yet resource-rich planet of Arrakis will open its vast expanses to all. From September 11 to September 15, players can delve into Dune: Awakening with an unprecedented free-to-play offer, entirely devoid of the previous limitations. Unlike past trials, this event grants unlimited playtime, allowing new recruits to fully immerse themselves in the game's expansive world.

Venture Across the Vast Landscape

Forget the confines of the initial zones. This revamped free access permits exploration of the entire Hagga Basin, extending into the perilous Deep Desert, the bustling Harko Village, and the sprawling Arrakeen City. Aspiring Fremen and House members alike can chart their own courses, uncovering secrets and challenges hidden across the diverse biomes of Dune.

Forge Alliances with Friends

Addressing a key point of community feedback, the upcoming free weekend finally enables players to join their friends on any server, fostering genuine cooperative experiences. This crucial change moves beyond the isolated trial servers of the past, creating a more integrated and social gameplay environment for new and existing players.

Seamless Transition: Your Progress Endures

Should your adventures on Arrakis ignite a desire for continued exploration, all progress made during the free play period will be meticulously saved. This means that if you choose to acquire Dune: Awakening after the event concludes, you can seamlessly pick up right where you left off, continuing your epic journey without interruption.

Chapter 2 and Lost Harvest DLC: A New Dawn on Arrakis

Adding to the excitement, the highly anticipated Chapter 2 update for Dune: Awakening, alongside the 'Lost Harvest' DLC, is arriving sooner than expected—on September 9. Chapter 2, a complimentary addition for all game owners (including those participating in the free weekend), will propel the main narrative forward with fresh story missions, introduce new armaments, and provide a character re-customization feature, allowing for appearance adjustments post-initial creation.

Unveiling the Mysteries of Lost Harvest

The 'Lost Harvest' DLC presents an entirely new, self-contained storyline, promising fresh mysteries and challenges. This expansion also introduces a peculiar, retro-futuristic vehicle, reminiscent of vintage science fiction illustrations, adding a unique visual flair and new gameplay mechanics to the Arrakis experience. Witness its unusual design in the latest update trailer, offering a glimpse into the innovative additions awaiting players
