Funcom revealed new details on the upcoming free, and paid, updates for Dune: Awakening, including a fresh trailer and release date!
Enjoying your time in Dune: Awakening and ready for whatever comes next? You’re in luck. During today’s ‘Into the Infinite Showcase‘ at Gamescom, Funcom showed off a new trailer for the survival game’s second chapter (a free update) and ‘Lost Harvest’ DLC ($13). Both of which will arrive on September 10th, bringing new story, gear, and even vehicle!
Chapter 2 (Free Update)
The journey continues in the free Chapter 2 update, picking up after the sinister revelations at the end of the base game’s storyline. Meet new and familiar characters, explore new locations, and delve deeper into the past as you unravel a web that stretches into the darkest corners of the Imperium.
Chapter 2 also brings exciting new world content, including contracts, dynamic encounters, items, activities, and more character creation options such as new hairstyles, which can be accessed by existing characters by using the brand-new character re-customization feature.
The Lost Harvest DLC ($12.99)
The Lost Harvest DLC brings a new and complete standalone storyline. Following the crash of a Miner’s Guild spice harvester, you find out it holds a secret cargo that could change everything. Your job is to find it.
The DLC also unlocks several new cosmetics, including the first new cosmetic vehicle with unique animations – the Treadwheel. Other cosmetics include the new Dune Man building set, new decorations, armor sets, weapons, and more.
The vehicle and other cosmetics provide no significant advantage compared to their base-game counterparts, and must be crafted like all other items. This is included in the Season Pass ($24.99) which in turn is included in the Deluxe and Ultimate Editions of the game.
If you haven’t gotten in on the fun of Dune: Awakening yet (for shame!), there’s now a free trial for the game during the duration of Gamescom (August 20th – August 24th) where gamers can play up to 10 hours and even retain their progress if they decide to buy the game.
Dune: Awakening – Chapter 2 and The Lost Harvest DLC arrive on September 10th.
