Chapter 3 Free Update: A New Endgame — Built With Our Community
[p]Chapter 3 is shaped by thousands of conversations, suggestions, and bits of feedback from across the Dune: Awakening community. One of the clearest messages we heard was the desire for more meaningful progression and choice – including PvE players - after reaching tier 6. This update sets up the framework to do this, expanding late-game play with deeper choices, shared goals, and more ways for every type of player to continue growing. We’ve rebuilt the Landsraad system to give you more ways to progress and earn meaningful rewards—whether you’re playing solo or teaming up with friends.

On top of that, the overland map has been expanded with several new locations, including unique repeatable testing stations featuring challenging boss encounters with scaling difficulty and increasingly valuable loot. [/p][p]And that’s just the start. With several improvements, additions, and refinements, Chapter 3 stands as our largest update since launch, made possible by the passion and dedication of our community. These include a rework of the rapier, and the introduction of two weapons: the Pyrocket and Dual Blades. Story-focused players can dive straight back into the narrative, as Chapter 3 continues the story right where Chapter 2 ended, offering many hours of new story-driven survival gameplay. [/p][p]Thank you for continuing to shape Dune: Awakening with us. Your feedback and enthusiasm guide every step we take. [/p][p][/p]DLC: The Raiders of the Broken Lands (Paid)
