Today, Funcom revealed its post-release strategies for the forthcoming open-world MMO survival game, “Dune: Awakening.” Inspired by Frank Herbert’s Dune novels and films, this game is scheduled for a PC release on May 20th.

What are the post-launch plans for Dune: Awakening

According to a recent video and blog update from Joel Bylos, the creative director of Dune: Awakening, he unveiled what players can expect once the game goes live in May. Furthermore, Bylos addressed questions about the game’s business model, focusing on the possibility of an Early Access phase and subscription plans.

As an avid follower, I’m thrilled to share that Bylos has made it official: Dune: Awakening will fully debut on May 20, marking the end of Early Access. Excitingly, there’s no subscription needed to immerse yourself in this upcoming MMO!

Post-launch, Funcom has big plans for the game, with free updates on the horizon. These updates promise fresh content, exciting new features, and significant enhancements to keep our gaming experience engaging. There will also be optional DLC available for purchase, which could either come as part of a Season Pass or individually. However, Bylos didn’t elaborate on how this DLC might extend our gameplay.
