The team will release a new pack of content on September 22, featuring references and mroe to the first two modern Dune films. (A shame they're not doing the original '80s version… yet. We hope!)

Dune: Awakening Officially Announces New Movie Content DLC

Filmic Archive features iconic looks inspired by the Dune films. This includes the iconic Aegis of the Unwalked Path armor, drawn from Paul Atreides' visions of the Fremen holy warriors in Dune: Part One, and the Caladan Stormcoat worn by both Paul and Duke Leto in Dune: Part One. In addition to other outfits from the movies, the DLC also includes an extensive 73-piece base-building set in the style of the feared Sardaukar. The Filmic Archive will be available for $9.99.

Cross-Play Confirmed for Post-Launch

When the console version of Dune: Awakening was announced before summer, the single most popular request from the community was for PC/console cross-play. Funcom confirmed that cross-play will be coming to Dune: Awakening post-launch. The studio cannot yet commit to a release date but will share more information when available.

Along with the digital edition, Funcom is also releasing a physical PlayStation 5 edition of Dune: Awakening on September 22nd, together with partners. Pre-orders for the physical edition are now live at selected retailers. Funcom is partnering with Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe to bring the game to retail shelves across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, while Solutions 2 GO Inc. will handle distribution across North and South America.
