Funcom has announced a large beta test phase of the Survival MMOS Dune: Awakening for May. There is also a new story trailer to be seen.
The publication of Dune: Awakening was only postponed by a few weeks at short notice, so that the PC version will now be available from June 10, 2025; As is well known, the console version should only follow later this year. As a small decision, Funcom also promised a previous beta test – and one of them has now been specifically dated.

Compared to the earlier closed test phases, a large number of new players will be able to take part. The first 20 hours of the upcoming title and therefore most of the history of act 1 in history are playable. You get to know both the spice and the narrative of the survival title.
In addition, there is no longer a NDA in this test phase, i.e. in the course of the beta, numerous more information and details are likely to be known in the run -up to the release of the full version as numerous game impressions in video form.
You can apply for access to the large beta weekend on the Steam page for Dune: Awakening. In addition, tens of thousands of beta codes are distributed on May 10th as part of a global LAN party transmission; Basically you just have to watch here to get a code.
The global dune: Awakening Lan Party Broadcast is streamed from both London and Pax East. In the course of the transmission, a number of special guests will be seen, the main developers will comment on the title and there is an exciting competition with content creatorn.
Last but not least, the film's cinematic story in a new story trailer is brought into focus. This provides you with a foretaste of the trip that you will later start in the full version on Arrakis. You also step into the footsteps of the Fremen and learn to survive in the desert.
