What Testers Can Expect from Dune: Awakening Closed Beta
In the closed beta of Dune: Awakening, testers can expect to explore a condensed version of the full game. Funcom states the closed beta concentrates on:
- Resource harvesting mechanics for water, spice, and minerals
- Crafting equipment from gathered materials
- Shelter and base building essentials
- Fundamentals of exploration across endless dunes
Testers may encounter unfinished textures, bugs, and performance issues while testing the beta. When you sign up, you are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to keep details confidential but can provide feedback directly to the developers to help improve the game before its official launch.
Dune: Awakening Beta Selection Updates
Unfortunately, entering an email address won't guarantee access to the closed beta. Funcom will select testers randomly from the pool of registered players when sessions commence.
Keep watch for emails providing updates on the selection status. Also, join Dune: Awakening's Discord server to receive notifications about beta tests. Signing up now puts players in the running for every closed session planned up until full release.
