Excitement is building as Dune: Awakening prepares for its full release on May 20, with the developer Funcom confirming that there will be no monthly subscription required to play. This news comes as a refreshing change in the MMO landscape, where games like Final Fantasy XIV, World of Warcraft, and EVE Online typically require ongoing payments. Instead, Funcom has promised to keep the game fresh and engaging through regular free updates, ensuring a continuously evolving experience for players.
The announcement was made via a Steam blog post on March 21, which also detailed the game's system requirements and post-launch plans. Funcom's commitment to long-term support is backed by their successful track record with other live service games such as Anarchy Online, soon to celebrate its 25th anniversary, and Conan Exiles, which continues to receive free updates and expansions.
Pre-orders for Dune: Awakening are now live, with three editions available for purchase: Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate. By pre-ordering any edition, players will receive two exclusive in-game items: the Terrarium of Muad'Dib, a detailed in-base decoration, and the Sunset Dye Global Swatch, a unique color pattern applicable to weapons, vehicles, and armor.
Those opting for the Deluxe or Ultimate editions will enjoy a 5-day head start, allowing them to dive into the game on May 15. The Deluxe edition includes the base game, the Sardaukar Bator Armor, and a Season Pass featuring four DLCs. The first DLC will introduce placeables inspired by Arrakis' wildlife, including Shai-Hulud, with the subsequent three DLCs to follow at later dates.
The Ultimate edition builds on the Deluxe edition with additional exclusive items: the Dusk Rider Sandbike Swatch, Blue Dasher Ornithopter Swatch, Caladan Palace Building Set from the 2021 film, the Dune 2021 Film Stillsuit, a digital artbook, and a digital soundtrack. These extras offer fans an even deeper dive into the world of Dune.
