Filmic Archive DLC arrives September 22 

Launching September 22, the Filmic Archive DLC brings iconic looks inspired by Dune: Part One and Dune: Part Two to Dune: Awakening. 

Wear the Aegis of the Unwalked Path armor, inspired by Paul Atreides’ visions of Fremen holy warriors in Dune: Part One. Brave the elements in the Caladan Stormcoat, worn by Paul and Duke Leto in Dune: Part One. 

The DLC also includes additional film-inspired outfits, plus an extensive 73-piece Sardaukar building set to bring the feared Imperial warriors’ distinctive style to your base and more. 

Filmic Archive will be available for $9.99. Its coming soon page will go live on Thursday, August 27, following the trailer premiere during the Xbox Gamescom broadcast, which begins at 4 PM CEST. 

Cross-play is coming post-launch 

We are excited to finally confirm that cross-play is coming to Dune: Awakening post console launch.  

Currently we are not ready to share a release date yet, but we will have more information to share as development progresses. Our goal is to help more players share their stories, alliances, rivalries, and battles for Arrakis - regardless of platform. 

 

The biggest version of Dune: Awakening yet 

September 22 marks a major milestone for Dune: Awakening, with a full single-player mode, the dramatic conclusion to the story, expanded customization options, scalable difficulty settings, and a full year of additions and enhancements. 

For a quick recap of the first year and what is coming, we have made a deep dive video highlighting some of the updates that have shaped the game so far - and giving you a sneak peek at what is coming on September 22 – in addition to the launch on XBOX and Playstation 5. 

Prepare to awaken 

Whether you are returning to Arrakis or preparing to set foot on the desert planet for the first time, September 22 marks the beginning of a new chapter. 

The spice must flow!
