Dune Awakening’s “Large Scale” Beta Weekend: Your Final Opportunity to Experience the Spice Before Launch

Feeling eager to finally dive into “Dune Awakening” after all the buzz? Good news! You’ll soon have the chance, as the game is hosting a free open beta weekend from May 9 to May 12. Exciting times ahead!

To snag access, you’ll need to wishlist the game before May 9, giving you a shot at joining the beta. Alternatively, you can grab one of the many beta codes the team will distribute throughout the weekend. It’s open, but with a bit of a catch—only lucky participants get in. Think of it like a slightly ajar door, offering just a peek inside.

Interestingly, this beta test kicks off a few days before the original release, which was initially slated for May 15. The launch was postponed to give Funcom a bit more time to fine-tune everything, ensuring a polished final product.

During the beta, players can explore the first two regions of the game, providing about 20 hours of gameplay. This includes delving into several Research Facilities, testing out early abilities for various classes, and engaging in a bit of PvP at ship crash sites. It’s a generous preview of what’s to come. For more on this, check out our fresh preview of “Dune Awakening,” providing insights into this slice of the adventure.
