After working on it for so long, it was great to go from us talking about the game to watching players create their own stories on Arrakis. Thank you for the energy and the passion, we\u2019ve enjoyed the cool bases, the unofficial arenas and races, even the time Ben forgot to power his base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today Dune: Awakening is better because of the great feedback we\u2019ve received and all of the enthusiasm you have put into this community. So, from all of us at Funcom: thank you. We hope the year ahead is every bit as exciting as the last. It\u2019s a big year for the game and for the Dune universe, and we\u2019re grateful to be part of it with you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To celebrate this milestone together, we are marking the one-year anniversary of Dune: Awakening with a limited-time event featuring free rewards, progression boosts, and community-focused fun.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event runs from June 10th to July 10th, 2026, aligning with the game\u2019s original launch anniversary and overlapping with the Steam Summer Sale (June 25th\u2013July 9th).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the course of four weeks, players can unlock a series of cosmetic rewards while benefiting from multiple Progression Boost Weekends.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"572\" src=\"https:\/\/duneawakening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-20260604-130405-1024x572.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38508\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/duneawakening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-20260604-130405-1024x572.png 1024w, https:\/\/duneawakening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-20260604-130405-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/duneawakening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-20260604-130405-768x429.png 768w, https:\/\/duneawakening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-20260604-130405-1536x857.png 1536w, https:\/\/duneawakening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-20260604-130405.png 2021w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Month of Rewards and Progression&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each week introduces new cosmetic items, all of which stack over the duration of the event\u2014meaning players can collect the entire set by participating throughout the month.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The featured reward line is the Contemplation Tea House collection, a themed set of decorative items for player housing, alongside a standout armor cosmetic:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Week 1: Counter set pieces and the Master Operative of the Dunes light armor variant&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Week 2: Tea house seating, including a sofa and chair&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Week 3: Table and tea set furnishings&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Week 4: Final decorative elements, including a mural and baliset<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, these items form a complete, cohesive cosmetic set designed to spruce up your nook on Arrakis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-top:56.25%;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.mediadelivery.net\/embed\/619947\/c0dca173-b060-495d-a5f6-599829870c9a?autoplay=true&#038;loop=true&#038;muted=true&#038;preload=true&#038;responsive=true\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border:0;position:absolute;top:0;height:100%;width:100%;\" allow=\"accelerometer;gyroscope;autoplay;encrypted-media;picture-in-picture;fullscreen;\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boosted Progression Weekends&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to cosmetic rewards, the event includes four timed Boosted Progression weekends, each offering double rewards in a specific progression area.
