Greetings Sleepers,

Once again, thank you to everyone who joined us for the large-scale Beta Weekend earlier this month. It’s been a thrill reading your feedback, watching your videos, and diving into the many lively discussions that followed.

The Beta Weekend was a critical milestone for us – we stress-tested core systems to ensure we’re ready for launch, and you got hands-on experience with the first 20–25 hours of early survival gameplay.

But Dune: Awakening is much more than those early hours. You’ve only just scratched the surface.

The Beta Weekend featured just 25% of the Hagga Basin. Beyond it lies a vast world full of content, challenges, and gameplay systems waiting to be uncovered.


We’re now excited to give you a glimpse of what lies beyond the Beta Weekend – into Dune: Awakening’s mid-to-endgame.

On May 28th at 18:00 CEST / 12pm EDT / 9am PDT join us live on https://www.twitch.tv/funcom or https://www.youtube.com/funcom. Our host Natascha Röösli will once again welcome several developers who will both show and talk about what players can expect to see as they reach further into Hagga Basin and beyond, into the Deep Desert.

We’ll head further into Hagga Basin, showing you what you can expect to see, build, and experience in the midgame. We’ll also cover advanced gameplay mechanics such as The Landsraad, and we’ll dive deep into the Deep Desert to show you how Dune: Awakening’s endgame game offers plenty to do whether you prefer PvE or PvP.

Dune: Awakening is multiplayer survival on a massive scale. You’ve seen the surface – now it’s time to show you how deep the desert truly goes.

Don’t miss it:

See you in the Deep Desert, Sleepers.

Greetings Sleepers,

In a universe of inhuman abilities and enigmatic powers, the Trooper places his trust in the weight of his weapon and the enduring reliability of explosives.

Learn more about the Trooper in our second Schools of the Imperium showcase. First, see the veteran soldier in action in the new video.

Every Great House of the Landsraad fields its own standing army or House Guard, and the backbone of these formations are career soldiers known as Troopers. Wield an arsenal of ranged weaponry with expert precision, and deploy powerful tech with explosives and Holzman suspensor fields.

Here are some of the Troopers early skills:

· Shigawire Claw: You use a wrist-mounted launcher to fire off a claw attached to a cable of shigawire. The extreme tensile strength of shigawire launches you in the direction of the cable. It can also be used to stagger opponents during combat.

· Anti-gravity Field: This device, when thrown, uses a modified secondary phase Holtzman field to negate the effect of gravity in a spherical area. You can use the sphere to lift enemies or prevent fall damage during traversal.

· Disruptor Damage: Using steady hands you are able to guide the disruptor’s rapid fire darts more effectively to their target, thus increasing your damage.

To start on the path of the Trooper, you must either pick it in character creation, or visit the first mentor. Find Ghavouri, a grizzled veteran of many battles, at the Griffin’s Reach Tradepost.

Pick up your arms on June 10, and start earning your next scars.
