We’re now less than two months away from the launch of Dune: Awakening, set to launch on May 20. Pre-orders for the highly anticipated multiplayer survival game are now open on Steam, available in standard edition, Deluxe Edition, and Ultimate Edition varieties. The Ultimate Edition will include a 90-minute-long digital soundtrack, among many other goodies.
Dune: Awakening’s standard edition is priced at $49.99, with the Deluxe Edition ($69.99) and Ultimate Edition ($89.99) both offering players a 5-day head start and several unique items. Pre-ordering any of the editions – including standard – will award players with a universal color pattern that can be applied to vehicles, weapons, and armor, as well as the Terrarium of Muad’Dib, an in-base decoration which houses the iconic desert mouse.
The Deluxe Edition will include a Season Pass that will unlock four DLCs over time, with the first unlocking at launch; and armour based on the Sardaukar, the elite military force that players find themselves hunted by in the game.
The Ultimate Edition adds everything above, plus Paul Atreides’ iconic stillsuit from the 2021 film, a digital artbook, a digital soundtrack, unique color patterns, and the Caladan Palace Set featuring building pieces, placeables, and decorations.
Dune: Awakening’s Creative Director, Joel Bylos, has also appeared on video to explain the game’s business model and post-launch plans. In short, the game will launch fully on May 20th, without going through Early Access, and will continue to be expanded through free updates and optional DLCs.
