A limited trial to discover the first bits of Arrakis
In order to get back on track, Funcom has decided to let you play for free Dune Awakening until November 27. But be careful, since the studio has set some limits to this free trial. You will certainly be able to download the game and play without paying, but only for 10 hours of play.
We’re talking about times when you are active in the MMO here, with a counter that will stop when you are not playing. 10 hours is enough to get an overview of the basics of the title, knowing that you will only be able to explore Hagga Basin. If, after that, you decide to purchase the game, you will be able to transfer your progress to the full title. Note also that the game is displayed on Steam at -25% during this period.
Funcom is therefore doing everything to revive interest around its title, which is fighting for its survival. Console versions are still planned, but no specific release date has been announced yet.
