Welcome Sleepers, to our very first Dune: Awakening community newsletter! Look forward to this new hub of information for all things Dune: Awakening. We in the community team will keep you regularly updated about any news you might have missed, showcase new parts of the game, and celebrate all the talented Sleepers in our community. We hope you enjoy these as much as we enjoyed making them for you! These past few months have been quite hectic for us here on Arrakis, with the cinematic reveal trailer, the new Dune: Awakening Direct, and our visit to Twitchcon Rotterdam. There's a lot happening, and this is only the beginning (remember to keep an eye on Gamescom, where we’ll reveal more gameplay!).


The last couple of months brought a wealth of announcements fit for a Carryall, including the incredible milestone of 1 million wishlists, a number which just keeps on climbing! We’re so grateful for all the support so far. Make sure to wishlist the game on Steam if you haven’t already!


Harko Village is one of the social hubs you can travel to via the overland map. Within its streets, you'll meet many other players from your world. You'll find various vendors and NPCs of interest, the CHOAM exchange, and social areas to engage with friends and allies. Meet Hanovars bar.

As more and more of our character creation has been unveiled, Sleepers have been quick to share their own vision of their character on Arrakis. This includes drawing them out!

It's hard to see the future, what Paul thinks he is seeing could be flawed or incorrect. Follow the clues and discover the truth in your journey across the game. | [/tr]

You can do this via our webpage or in our FAQ, where we also have more information about the closed beta process. Joining the official Discord server will also help to keep you informed and answer even more questions surrounding the beta. We are currently in persistent closed beta so players are being invited in waves. While you wait, keep an eye out for us at GamesCom where we’ll be showing new gameplay! | [/tr]

And with that, we conclude our very first Communinet Signal. We hope you found it useful, informative, entertaining, or anything in between. We're excited to create this new hub of information as we see our community grow and take shape. But this is only the first step of our journey. As you're reading these words, we'll be busy preparing our next newsletter, with more information and highlights for you to enjoy... and maybe even be part of! For our next issue, we're calling all artists in the sietch: You've seen one of the social areas in Harko Village, but we're missing your moves. Show us what you've got! If you have any fanart imagining yourself dominating the Hanovar dancefloor, send it our way using #DuneAwakeningCommuninet on social media or by sharing it in the Fanart channel on our Discord! It can be anything: a drawing, a video... anything you pour your creativity into. Remember, these must be created by you, not using AI-generated art. Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind. If you have any comments about this newsletter and want to discuss it with us and the rest of the community, make sure to join the official Discord server and check out the new Communinet Signal channel. We look forward to seeing all your reactions and comments. See you in the next Communinet Signal and at Gamescom (and we think you’ll be very interested in what we will reveal there)!
