Okay, so here’s the scoop. The Dune Awakening beta—yep, finally happening—is up and running. Thousands of newbies are jumping into this wild, open-world survival MMO for the first time. It kicks off this weekend and lets players explore the first couple of major zones in the game. Think of it like a sneak peek into the early days of Dune. Fun, right?
Now, they announced this beta after the game’s release date got bumped to June 10. Honestly, the beta’s a bit of a consolation prize—something to soothe the wounds from that delay. And hey, it’s probably the last free chance to dive in on the house.
If you’ve never heard of this thing (where have you even been?), this is your shot to get clued in. We wrote up something about it last month, and guess what? It was mostly thumbs up. Had us scratching our heads though about the end-game stuff—they’ve talked about it, but not exactly shown much. Suspense, suspense.
And how do you get into this elusive beta? Well, you could wishlist it on Steam. They might drop an invite in your inbox if you’re lucky. Or perhaps, you nab a spot from a developer giveaway—fingers crossed! They’ve already started giving those invites out, but who knows, you might slide in last minute. Keep those eyes peeled and add it to your wishlist. Might just hit the jackpot.
