Dune Awakening is making good on Dune Man building kit, plus the free weekend is about to begin

Dune Awakening’s chapter 2 and Lost Harvest DLC haven’t really moved the needle on the game’s playerbase so far this week, but for those who are already playing and maybe even bought the DLC, there’s been a bit of disgruntlement over the building content within it. Funcom is owning that.

“We realize that our communication around the contents of the DLC has not been clear enough,” the studio said last night. “The Lost Harvest DLC has a variety of content, with the focus being on the new side story and the Treadwheel, but the way the Dune Man building pieces were communicated created expectations that it would be a full building set rather than what was our intention: four new pieces to supplement the base game building sets.” Apparently the team is going to just flat out do the thing y’all expected from the start:

“We understand the disappointment some of you have shared, and to rectify that, we will work on creating more Dune Man building pieces that we’ll make available to all owners of the Lost Harvest DLC. We’re looking at adding around 15 more pieces and we aim to have these available late September or early October.”

The Funcom missive further notes that old Twitch drops will at some point be added to the game.

The game’s no-strings-attached free-play weekend kicks off today at 10 a.m. EDT. Let’s see if it gets some bounce.

Sleepers, The Free Weekend is almost here.It starts today at 07:00PM CEST / 01:00PM EDT / 10:00AM PDTLooking forward to seeing you all on Arrakis!
