New Story Trailer and Large-Scale Beta Weekend Announced

The beta test is set to welcome a massive influx of new players and, unlike their previous closed betas, will not be under an NDA. This means players can freely share their experiences and even stream them online. The announcement states, "With access to the first 20 hours of the game and most of Act 1 of the story, you will get a taste of both spice and story."

To participate in the Beta weekend, players can wishlist and request access to the game via Dune: Awakening’s Steam page, or they can try their luck at receiving Beta codes during the game’s global broadcast on May 10. Stay tuned for more details about the beta.

Global LAN Party on May 10

Funcom is also organizing a Global Dune: Awakening LAN party, which will be broadcast live from both London and PAX East on May 10 at 12 PM PDT / 3 PM EDT / 9 PM CEST / 8 PM BST on their official Twitch channel. Here's the schedule so you can catch the stream at the right time in your region:

During the event, hosts will travel to various locations worldwide to showcase people playing the game. Lead developers will be on hand to discuss the game in detail, while content creators will engage in thrilling in-game competitions.

Moreover, tens of thousands of Beta keys will be distributed during the broadcast, granting immediate access to the Beta weekend. Just a few days prior, the developers will host their third livestream, focusing on the game’s base-building mechanics.

Dune: Awakening is scheduled for release on June 10, 2025, for PC, with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S releases to follow at a later, yet-to-be-announced date. Keep an eye on our updates to stay informed about the latest developments!
