Dune: Awakening getting "largest beta yet" next month, and it'll be open to "tens of thousands" of players
Dune: Awakening launches on 10th June, but there'll be another chance to experience the promising sci-fi survival game …
Watch on YouTube It'll give players a chance to experience survival in the vast, wormy deserts of Arrakis, as well as "most of" Dune: Awakening's first story act - which Funcom says should equal around 20 hours of playtime. They can either visit Dune: Awakening's Steam page and hit the 'Request Access' button, or they can tune into the Global LAN Party Broadcast on 10th, which will include developer chat and more. It's looking pretty promising too; Eurogamer's Robert Purchese came away impressed after going hands-on with Dune: Awakening earlier this year, writing: "You can live out your Dune fantasy in the most faithful recreation of Arrakis we've yet seen in a game, pausing as the ground shudders from a nearby sandworm, ducking for cover as a sandstorm blows in, and searching crevices for the secrets of the world hidden within.... keep an eye on this one."
