“Some people hate the game” – Dune: Awakening boss teases Chapter 2 cliffhanger

It’s intriguing to observe a game making a comeback at a major event like Gamescom following its launch. What’s the experience like for Bylos in such a scenario?

He mentions that it’s quite intriguing online because there’s a lot of varied opinions about games, with both enthusiasts and critics expressing their thoughts openly, which can leave a lasting impression.

At Gamescom, I’ve been encountering numerous individuals expressing gratitude for the game and sharing their experiences such as, “I’ve spent over 300 hours playing it.” Given that the game has been available for just two months, this is quite a considerable amount of time they’ve dedicated to it.

Bylos commented, “It’s really heartwarming to hear people sharing their experiences from the game, describing instances where they played with friends, certain events unfolded, leading to unique moments reminiscent of a sandbox game. They share these stories with me.

After that, I will share with my team in Oslo about the positive feedback for the game. I’ll inspire and encourage them by saying something like, “Look, people really appreciate this game,” which is exciting. I’m having a great time playing it and it has a positive vibe to it.

Regarding the fresh content coming to the game this week, Bylos shared that Chapter Two is divided into two sections.

The update for the game is available at no cost. Consequently, the primary storyline concludes abruptly, leaving room for Chapter Two to carry on the tale. Imagine it as chapters in a book or episodes of a television series, where each chapter further develops the main narrative. This continuation will remain free throughout. Additionally, there are new missions and random dynamic events introduced. A significant event will also be unfolding within the game over several weeks.

Furthermore, this paid downloadable content essentially offers a fresh quest storyline along with a set of dungeons for players to conquer. The incentives are purely cosmetic in nature. Notably, it also grants access to a novel vehicle. In essence, that’s the gist of what this DLC provides.

We’ve taken great precautions to ensure that the downloadable content (DLC) doesn’t provide an edge to players who purchase it over those who do not. In fact, if you own the DLC and play with a friend, you can share the DLC-exclusive vehicle with them, so they don’t have to buy it if they are short on funds. Essentially, we’re trying to be considerate by offering some degree of generosity.

Regarding further developments in the story, Bylos hinted, “The main plot comes to a close, and there are significant disclosures about your character’s past, insights that will deepen your self-understanding.

In the subsequent part of the narrative, you embark on a journey of discovery, venturing into unexplored territories to uncover secrets about yourself. This quest takes unexpected turns, leading to outcomes with certain repercussions, setting up another suspenseful ending – typical of episodic storytelling styles.

Let’s pique your interest! For a deeper dive into Bylos’s views on the game and his expectations for the upcoming blockbuster film, be sure to read the complete interview that follows!
