To join the Beta weekend, players can wishlist and request access to the game on Dune: Awakening’s Steam page, or they can try their luck at receiving Beta codes during the game’s global broadcast on May 10. Stay tuned for more details about the beta soon.
Mark your calendars for May 10, as Funcom is set to host a spectacular Global Dune: Awakening LAN party. The event will be broadcast live from both London and PAX East, starting at 12 PM PDT / 3 PM EDT / 9 PM CEST / 8 PM BST on their official Twitch channel. Here's a handy timetable to help you catch the stream at the right time in your region:
During the broadcast, hosts will travel to various locations worldwide to showcase players immersed in the game. Lead developers will be on hand to discuss Dune: Awakening in depth, while content creators will engage in thrilling in-game competitions.
What's more, tens of thousands of Beta keys will be distributed during the broadcast, granting immediate access to the Beta weekend. Just a few days prior, the developers will host their third livestream, focusing on the game’s base-building mechanics.
