Dune: Awakening is gearing up for an exciting large-scale beta weekend that includes a global LAN party. Discover all you need to know about this event and how you can secure your spot in the Beta weekend.
The upcoming beta test promises to welcome a substantial influx of new players. Unlike previous closed betas, this event will not be under an NDA, allowing participants to freely share their experiences and even stream their gameplay online. Funcom's 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 on Dune: Awakening's Steam page, or they might receive Beta codes during the game's global broadcast scheduled for May 10. Keep an eye out for more details about the beta soon.
Adding to the excitement, Funcom will host a Global Dune: Awakening LAN party, broadcasting 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. Below is a timetable to help you find the start time of the stream in your region:
During the event, hosts will travel to different locations worldwide to showcase players engaged with the game. Lead developers will be on hand to discuss the game's intricacies, while content creators will compete head-to-head in thrilling in-game battles.
Moreover, tens of thousands of Beta keys will be distributed during the broadcast, granting immediate access to the Beta weekend. In the lead-up to this event, the developers will also host their third livestream, focusing on the game's base-building mechanics.
Dune: Awakening is slated for release on June 10, 2025, for PC, with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions to follow at a later, yet-to-be-announced date. To keep abreast of the latest updates about the game, check out our article below!
