    An Update On The Polar Cap

    We wanted to take a moment to address what’s been on your minds since the Update 1.4 announcement and livestream. We know many of you were expecting the new map to arrive with the Water Wars DLC in the form of the Polar Cap. That’s perfectly understandable, considering the original DLC description referenced the Polar Cap as a location for the Water Shippers faction. Our intention was to release the Polar Cap map as a free update alongside the Water Wars DLC, same as Chapter 3 saw the release of the Raiders of the Broken Lands DLC and the free update introducing new story content and endgame improvements. We firmly believe in keeping the DLCs to optional cosmetic content, while new features, gameplay, locations, and story content are released for free to the benefit of all players. It’s better for the game’s long-term health and we also know that’s what you, the players, want based on...

    Greetings, Sleepers! It is time for our next look behind the curtain. We have a few major updates to discuss today regarding our development, self-hosted servers with a customizable full gameplay experience and a rework of how PvP and PvE interact in Dune: Awakening. Balancing Priorities From our very first Closed Beta Weekend, player feedback has been instrumental in shaping the game. We strive to iterate quickly, but game development is rarely linear, and our resources must constantly be balanced between polishing existing content, responding to live situations, preparing the console launch, and developing new features or content. Adjusting the scope and timing of content releases to match what our team can realistically deliver is an important part of that process. This year, you’ll see a series of features aimed at giving you more ways to customize your experience on Arrakis. Some...

    Dune Awakening just got a spicy major update, and an even spicier major discount, making it cheaper than ever before

    The fear of dehydration. The fear of Sandworms. The fear of losing all your hard-earned progress. Dune Awakening is basically a walk in the park, but it's filled with sand, there are giant human-eating worms, and there are far too many people who want to shoot you on sight. These all combine to make it one of the best survival games of the last few years. Whether you love the Villeneuve movies, the books, or you just like solid sci-fi adventures, it's one of last year's best releases, and Dune Awakening is at its lowest price ever right now.

    Developer Update – February 2026

    Welcome Sleepers, We want to thank all new and returning players who have joined us for Chapter 3 and shared your thoughts so far. We love seeing you dive into specialization paths, show off your bases, discuss the game, its lore, and race for the fastest clears in increasingly challenging dungeons. As the difficulty ramps up, fewer players will be able to reach the very top, and even the most disciplined sleepers will need time to gear up and advance their characters. We’re watching closely to see just how far you can push the limit! Chapter 3 is built on player feedback, and the journey does not end here. We are excited to keep iterating on the game together with the community and to continue shaping a richer, more immersive Dune experience. This ongoing process moves at different speeds.

    Huge new Dune Awakening update basically reworks the entire endgame, rebuilding Landsraad and overhauling missions

    Dune Awakening is a game with so much promise. Set in Frank Herbert's iconic sci-fi world, its sprawling reimagining of the sweltering world of Arrakis, coupled with its colossal sandworms and ornithopters, set the stage for the perfect survival MMO. But it's hardly been smooth sailing for Funcom, with endgame content consistently coming under fire, as well as its PvP experience, which has, as is often the case, fallen victim to waves of cheaters. Coming into Chapter 3, however, the game is getting its "biggest update yet," which overhauls the Landsraad system and deepens several endgame systems. Read the rest of the story... RELATED LINKS: Dust off your Stillsuit, survival MMO Dune Awakening is now cheaper than ever Dune Awakening gives franchise fans and MMO skeptics a chance to try it for free with a generous new trial Dune Awakening is down to its lowest price yet, but only for a...

    Developer Update – November 2025

    It’s time for another update from the dunes. In our last post, we covered several major improvements coming in the next patches, along with early details about the next chapter. Base Reconstruction Tool A while back, we mentioned the Base Reconstruction Tool, something many of you have been excited about. The team is working hard on improvements based on your feedback, but we need a little more time to properly address all comments. As a result, this feature is shifting to the next update, arriving slightly later than originally planned. Server Migrations We’ve also seen many questions about server migrations and character transfers, so we want to clarify how this will work. As we approach the merge window, empty or low-population worlds will be marked in-game for closure. Players on these worlds will be able to migrate to their preferred world and sietch, bringing their bases, invent...

This change addressed an issue where some NPCs were not dashing out correctly after a slow blade attack penetrated their shield. This occurred when the attacker was using a short blade, regardless of the NPC's stamina level.While this is an intended change that aligns with our goal of making enemy NPCs behave more like players who adhere to the same combat engagement rules, without other balance adjustments they might not be as enjoyable for everyone as we’d like.We understand that some of you who enjoyed the new behavior might be disappointe...
