Everything you need to know about Dune: Awakening.
Dune: Awakening is an open-world survival game set on the desert planet Arrakis. Players create a custom character and must manage thirst, maintain stillsuits, and contend with environmental hazards like sandstorms, extreme heat, and roaming sandworms. The game involves scavenging resources, crafting equipment, building shelters, and competing with other players to harvest and transport spice. As players progress, they advance through phases from basic survival to leading a guild, eventually participating in faction warfare between House Atreides and House Harkonnen. The game features single-player, and multiplayer which can be fully played in PvE with dedicated PvP zones.
In an alternate timeline where Paul Atreides was never born, Lady Jessica obeys the Bene Gesserit and bears a daughter named Ariste instead of a son. Her loyalty earns her training as a Truthsayer, and she uncovers the betrayal of Dr. Wellington Yueh before it can unfold. House Atreides survives under Duke Leto's leadership but becomes locked in a prolonged War of Assassins against House Harkonnen on the desert planet Arrakis. Meanwhile, the Fremen have vanished following a brutal purge by the Emperor's Sardaukar forces.
Into this fractured world, a lone agent working undercover for the Bene Gesserit arrives on Arrakis with a singular mission: find the missing Fremen and awaken the Sleeper. The desert holds its secrets tightly, and the political machinations of the Great Houses threaten anyone caught between them.
3 DLC for Dune: Awakening.
Dune: Awakening - The Lost Harvest
Sep 10, 2025
The Lost Harvest is a paid DLC with a complete standalone storyline. A carryall transporting a Miner’s Guild spice harvester has been shot out of the sky, and its cargo could change everything. Your job is to find it. The DLC also includes several unique cosmetics, including a brand-new vehicle, the Treadwheel, complete with its own unique animations and tier upgrades. The vehicle and other cosmetics provide no material benefit over its base game counterpart. Other cosmetics include several armor and weapon skins, and the Dune Man building set, letting you build bases in the style of those pragmatic and weathered workers of Arrakis.
Dune: Awakening - Raiders of the Broken Lands
Feb 3, 2026
Raiders of the Broken Lands DLC features a cosmetic pack inspired by the Smugglers of the Imperium. Customize your base with 74 building pieces and 17 decorations, and take the smuggler style into the desert with new armor, weapon, and vehicle variants, a cosmetic swatch, and emotes.
Dune: Awakening - The Water Wars DLC
May 19, 2026
The Water Wars DLC features a cosmetic pack inspired by the Water Shippers and their cartel. Customize your base with 52 building pieces and 18 decorations and feel the aura of the Water Shippers with their armor, weapons, an ornithopter variant, a cosmetic swatch, and 2 emotes.
Our honest take, straight from the mountains.
