The game will continue to be expanded through free updates with content and features
It will follow a classic business model of optional DLCs

Lastly, then, the special editions and version of the game you can grab on May 20th.

Dune: Awakening’s standard edition is priced at $49.99, with the Deluxe Edition ($69.99) and Ultimate Edition ($89.99) both offering players a 5-day head start and several unique items. Available as part of the Deluxe Edition and Ultimate Edition, Dune: Awakening also features a Season Pass that will unlock four DLCs over time, with the first unlocking at launch.

In the Deluxe Edition, you will also get the menacing armor of the Sardaukar, the elite military force that players find themselves hunted by in the game. The Ultimate Edition adds everything above, plus Paul Atreides’ iconic stillsuit from the 2021 film, a digital artbook, a digital soundtrack, unique color patterns, and the Caladan Palace Set featuring building pieces, placeables, and decorations.

Pre-ordering any of the editions – including standard – will award players with a universal color pattern that can be applied to vehicles, weapons, and armor, as well as the Terrarium of Muad’Dib, an in-base decoration which houses the iconic desert mouse.
