Dune: Awakening is set to launch a major promotional event starting on September 11. Players will have the chance to experience the survival MMO for free, accompanied by a 20% discount. This initiative responds to feedback from players following a previous limited free weekend.
Details of the Free Weekend
From September 11 to September 15, players can explore the vast world of Arrakis without restrictions. Unlike the earlier free weekend, which limited playtime to only 10 hours, this event permits unlimited gameplay. Players will have full access to all areas, including Hagga Basin, Deep Desert, Harko Village, and Arrakeen City.
Funcom, the developer, emphasizes that players can collaborate with friends during this event. This adjustment addresses concerns from the last free weekend, where players were only able to join servers with others also trying the game for the first time. The new approach aims to enhance the gaming experience by promoting teamwork among friends.
Discount Information
Alongside the free weekend, Dune: Awakening will be offered at a 20% discount from September 11 to September 22. Players who choose to purchase the game following the free weekend will have their progress saved, allowing them to continue right where they left off.
This discount represents the first promotional sale for Dune: Awakening since its release, presenting an enticing opportunity for those interested in joining the adventure on Arrakis.
Upcoming Content Updates
In addition to the free weekend and discount, Dune: Awakening will release Chapter 2 and the Lost Harvest DLC earlier than expected on September 9. Chapter 2 will be available for free to all players who own the game, including those participating in the free weekend.
This update will advance the game’s main storyline and introduce new contracts, armor options, and a character re-customization tool, allowing players to modify their appearance after character creation.
The Lost Harvest DLC will feature a standalone storyline along with a unique vehicle inspired by retro designs. Players can anticipate these exciting updates, which will enhance their journey through Dune: Awakening.
