by

If you haven’t had a chance to play Dune: Awakening, now is an ideal moment! The developer, Funcom, has just released the large-scale Chapter 2 free update and also the paid expansion pack named “Lost Harvest.

During the Free Weekend event, running from September 11 to September 15, everyone can play the game at no cost. Following this period, the game will be offered with a 20% reduction in price until September 22.

What the New Update is All About

As a seasoned gamer, I’m diving back into the captivating saga in Chapter 2, where the jaw-dropping revelations from Act 3 set the stage for an exhilarating continuation. This chapter is brimming with fresh narrative content and thrilling new elements that breathe even more life into the mesmerizing world of Arrakis. You’ll find yourself immersed in intriguing contracts and dynamic encounters, ensuring that your adventure remains as engaging and unpredictable as ever!

In Chapter 2, you’ll work together with an investigator to unravel a series of mysterious deaths. As you venture into unfamiliar territories, the art of staying hidden will be essential for successfully carrying out your assignments.

Apart from the fresh narrative, players will find delight in the newly introduced character customization feature as well. This update offers an array of new hairstyles and tattoos for characters. Additionally, there are several new archetype armor options available to provide even more personalization choices for your character.

With these, you’ll be able to further customize your character and make it stand out.

A Look at the New Lost Harvest DLC

Apart from the latest content update, Funcom introduced a new paid expansion pack titled “Lost Harvest”. This expansion offers an independent narrative set within the world of Dune, immersing players in its rich lore without needing to affect the main storyline.

Nonetheless, if you’re a massive fan of Dune lore, it’s definitely worth checking out.

Furthermore, purchasing the DLC doesn’t grant any advantages to gameplay compared to those who don’t have it. On the contrary, the items you can acquire are primarily cosmetic in nature, ensuring a level playing field for all players by maintaining fairness in gameplay.

Some significant enhancements consist of fresh cosmetic armor ensembles, building components, weapon aesthetics, decorative items, the Thumper dance move, and more. Additionally, there’s a brand new treadwheel vehicle introduced, which might appeal to those not fond of the bike with sand. This vehicle has its exclusive set of animations, but it doesn’t offer any gameplay advantage whatsoever.

The DLC can be purchased for $12.99 across all platforms.

Free Weekend and a 20% Discount

Beginning on September 11 and lasting until September 15, Dune: Awakening can be played at no cost by everyone. This means that fans can explore the world of Arrakis without any financial investment, and since chapter 2 is also a free update, newcomers will find an abundance of content available upon starting the game!

Awakening with a 20% discount between September 11 and 22. This means it will be more affordable during that period for gamers who are interested in buying the game.

Also, progress during the Free Weekend will carry over should they choose to buy the game.
