    Gamescom Is Over - Here's a Recap of Dune: Awakening News

    Funcom gathered its Gamescom announcements and added detail on the Polar Cap, a free map arriving later this year built around extreme cold rather than heat, with its own survival mechanics, resources and standalone storyline.

    For your guild
    A second map with its own survival rules means a guild's Hagga Basin kit and base plans do not carry over, and the update is free, so everyone can go. There is no date beyond later this year, so this is worth reading and not yet worth scheduling.

    Filmic Archive DLC, and Cross-Play Confirmed for Post Console Launch

    Funcom dated the Dune: Awakening console launch to September 22, arriving with a single-player mode, the story conclusion and the Filmic Archive DLC at $9.99. Cross-play is confirmed for after console launch, with no date.

    For your guild
    Cross-play is the part that decides whether a guild can recruit off PC, and it carries no date. Console members joining on September 22 will be on their own servers until it lands, so hold off on restructuring around a mixed-platform roster.

›About this page

The Guild Post gathers the latest Dune: Awakening news from Funcom and the wider community into one page — patch notes, updates, and announcements as they publish, each linking back to the original source. Survival and base systems, Arrakis world and Deep-Desert updates, and the road from beta to live.

Where does Dune: Awakening news come from?
We aggregate Dune: Awakening dispatches from Funcom and community sources and link each headline back to its original publisher. We summarize and point out; we don't republish full articles.
How often is this page updated?
Continuously — the Dune: Awakening feed refreshes as new news is published (cached for about 30 minutes), so the latest dispatches are always near the top.
