Great news for survival RPG fans! Pre-loading for Dune: Awakening is now available on Steam across all editions, letting players gear up for the epic journey on Arrakis. With the head start phase kicking off soon and the full launch following shortly after, Funcom has also unveiled the initial server and World structure for this multiplayer adventure.
Prepare for Arrakis with Pre-Load and Server Info
Whether you're jumping in early or waiting for the full release, now’s the time to download Dune: Awakening on Steam. The head start begins on June 5, 2025, with the complete launch set for June 10, 2025. Funcom is ensuring players are ready to battle sandworms and rivals for spice by releasing key details about the game’s server setup.
Understanding Worlds and Servers
In this game, a World is a collection of servers sharing the same Deep Desert and social hubs, while each server maintains its own persistent Hagga Basin. Players can visit friends across any server within their chosen World, but building a base is limited to your home server. Each World launches with 20 Hagga Basin servers, uniquely named as Sietches, and Funcom plans to monitor populations to add more Worlds or servers as needed.
What’s New in Dune: Awakening Server Options?
Server lists for the head start phase cover regions like Europe, North America (split into US Central, West, and East), Asia, Oceania, and South America. Rentable private servers will also be available from the head start launch on June 5, 2025. For the full breakdown of Worlds and Sietch names, check the official site at DuneAwakening.com.
