Dune: Awakening, a multiplayer survival game adapted from Frank Herbert's legendary novel and the acclaimed film by Legendary Entertainment, is set to release on May 20. Funcom has officially opened pre-orders, and gamers are now counting down the days until they can explore the dangerous world of Arrakis. Let’s dive into the details of the business model, special editions, and system requirements you need to know before playing!

Classic Business Model with Optional DLC

Dune: Awakening will follow a classic business model, which means:

• No subscription fees are required.

• The game will receive free updates with new content and features over time.

• There will be optional paid DLC for those who want to expand their experience.

Joel Bylos, the Creative Director of Dune: Awakening, explained this business model in an official video. This means you can enjoy the core content without additional costs, but you’ll have the option to buy DLC for extra items or experiences.
