Dune: Awakening Begins – And You Can Join Before The Release

A Game. A Desert. And A Community That’s Already Burning With Excitement.

You feel the sand beneath your feet. The wind howls across endless dunes.

And out there, somewhere, an adventure is stirring – making waves before it’s even begun.

Welcome To Arrakis – Where You’re Not Just Playing A Game

Dune: Awakening isn’t your typical survival MMO. It’s a universe that pulls you in – with sand, story, and suspense.

You fight for resources, carve out your own path in an open world, and become part of a game where power, loyalty, and survival are tightly interwoven.

No cookie-cutter quests, no generic open world – but a game that feels like Dune: harsh, political, dangerous.

And yet, full of possibility.

Curious? The Desert Is Calling – This May

From May 9 to 12, 2025, you can dive into the adventure before anyone else:

In the official beta phase, you’ll play the first 20 hours and explore major parts of Act 1 – with no NDA.

Which means: stream, post, talk – as much as the spice allows.

Access is available directly via Steam, or during the big livestream on May 10, when thousands of beta keys will be scattered across the desert winds.

A Community That’s Already Alive

And that’s not just hype: On the official Discord server, hundreds of fans have already gathered – sharing fan art, swapping memes, deep-diving into lore & politics, and fully embracing the Dune vibe.

There’s even a dedicated book club.

This game doesn’t even have a release date yet – but it already has heart, soul, and fandom.
