In the vast and intricate universe of Frank Herbert’s Dune, the potential for storytelling is as expansive as the desert itself. With Dune Awakening, players are invited to craft their own narratives amidst the sands of Arrakis. Following a mixed reception at launch, developer Funcom is actively working to enhance the experience with the introduction of a free update and a paid DLC story, both of which are now available.
New Adventures Await
The newly released Dune Awakening Lost Harvest DLC introduces an engaging storyline that beckons players to explore the wreckage of a downed spaceship and delve into the deep tunnels and safehouses hidden beneath the planet’s arid surface. This expansion also enriches the gameplay with an array of new armor and weapon skins, allowing for greater personalization in battles.
Among the exciting additions is the Treadwheel vehicle, a unique mode of transport that is best appreciated through visuals rather than words. For a clearer understanding, a glance at the trailer will reveal this bi-wheeled bike, equipped with massive tires flanking a compact cockpit. Notably, it accommodates a second player who can engage in combat from the back, adding a collaborative element to exploration.
Accompanying the DLC is the free Chapter 2 update, which further expands the narrative and customization options. Players can immerse themselves in new quests that involve thwarting assassins, tracing bloodlines, and stealthily navigating libraries, all while taking advantage of fresh customization features at the local hairdresser and tattoo parlor.
For those intrigued by this combination of new content, Dune: Awakening is hosting a free weekend from Thursday, September 11, through Monday, September 15. Additionally, the game will be available at its lowest price ever, with a 20% discount running from the start of the free weekend until Monday, September 22.
The Dune Awakening Lost Harvest DLC is priced at .99 / £10.99 and can be purchased on Steam.
