Large-Scale Beta Weekend Now Live

Greetings Sleepers,

The large-scale Beta weekend has begun! Can you taste the spice on the wind? Arrakis has never been closer. Create your character and crash into Arrakis, where you and other players will together survive sandworms, the blistering sun, roaming bandits, and more!

Unlike previous Betas, this one has no NDA, meaning you can share any info you want with friends, or even stream the game for all to see.

The Beta will continue until May 12 at the following times:

• North America: 5:59 PM EDT / 2:59 PM PDT
• South America: 18:59 BRT
• Europe: 23:59 CEST
• Asia: 05:59 CST / 06:59 JST

Don't have access yet? Here's what to do!

There are three ways to increase your chances of getting into the Beta Weekend:

1. Wishlist and request access on the Dune: Awakening Steam page
2. Sign up with your email on the official website
3. Get one of tens of thousands of Beta codes during the Global LAN Party Broadcast on May 10

Bonus: Do all three to increase your chances!

In the Beta weekend, you will be able to:

• Explore three areas: Hagga Basin South, Western Vermillius Gap, and Eastern Vermillius Gap
• Craft and pilot a sandbike
• Experience the early game and get close to mid-game content
• Build Choam buildings and establish your presence on Arrakis
• Learn to survive against sandworms and other dangers

Remember: Progress during the Beta weekend will not carry over to launch. Head start begins June 5th, and full launch is on June 10th.

Pre-order Dune: Awakening now and play on June 10. Choose the Deluxe or Ultimate Edition for a 5-day head start and a trove of exclusive in-game items.

May you always find shade, Sleeper.
