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.
