Heads-up: Dune: Awakening just wrapped its free weekend and is available at a 20% discount through September 22, a cheap way to keep playing Arrakis after trying the game. Purchases will retain any progress made during the free weekend; pick the same World and Sietch to locate your base.
Arrakis proved harsh on newcomers over the weekend. Skirmishes popped up across dunes, and settlements saw a heavy turnover of resources and bodies. Developers thanked the fresh players and reminded everyone that the desert favors shelter.
Discount ends on September 22, so anyone tempted by sand, spice, and survival should consider picking up the title before the price returns. If you bought during the free period, your character and base progress remain tied to the World and Sietch you selected, which makes finding your old camp straightforward.
