Dune: Awakening arrives on June 10, inviting players to step into the breathtaking universe of Frank Herbert—brought to life by Denis Villeneuve and Legendary Entertainment’s acclaimed films. But before launch, from May 9-12, you can jump into the large-scale Beta weekend to survive the scorching sands of Arrakis and explore much of Act 1’s story.
More than just an open-world survival game, Dune: Awakening weaves cinematic storytelling into every moment, immersing you deeper into this sci-fi epic.
Whether you start your journey in the Beta or at launch, the new story trailer offers a glimpse of what’s to come. Prepare for a world where survival means battling not just the brutal desert, but also the hidden machinations of ancient powers.
Players can get a taste of both spice and story in the large-scale Beta weekend, featuring the first 20 hours of the game and most of Act 1 of the story. Unlike previous Betas, this one has no NDA, meaning all information is open to share, and the game can be streamed for all to see.
Players have a chance to get access to the Beta weekend by going to Dune: Awakening’s Steam Page where they can wishlist and request access, or by getting one of tens of thousands of Beta codes that will be given out during the Global LAN Party Broadcast on May 10 All you need to do is watch!
On May 10, players can catch the Global Dune: Awakening LAN Party Broadcast, streamed from both London and PAX East. Throughout this massive event, we will jump to many other locations around the world to check in with special guests.
