Dune Awakening drops mandatory PvP as 80% skip it, private servers on the way

Dune: Awakening is removing PvP as a mandatory endgame, deleting PvP zones in Hagga Basin and offering a PvP-free Deep Desert as an alternative; a separate PvP-enabled Deep Desert with a 2.5x resource multiplier remains for those who crave combat. The studio notes that about 80% of lifetime players never engaged with PvP, and private server hosting will be tested soon with customizable PvP options, altered harvesting rates, and potential character transfers to support long-term community play.

During a Q&A session at the Game Developers Conference 2024, Dune Awakening Creative Director Joel Bylos clarified that the deep desert PvP map in the upcoming survival MMO is nine times the size of the Conan Exiles map. He explained that players can play as male characters with Bene Gesserit training, and detailed the game's server structure, map traversal, and focus on PvP and PvE content. Bylos also discussed future plans for adding sandworm riding, environmental changes, and potential expansion to other planets, while emphasizing that players can avoid PvP content if they choose.

Funcom's executive producer for Dune: Awakening hinted at the possibility of the game eventually venturing beyond Arrakis to other planets in the Dune universe, such as Giedi Prime. The game aims to diversify its aesthetic by incorporating underground areas with vegetation and exploring different environments to break away from the predominant brown and sandy landscapes of Dune. While the initial launch will focus on Arrakis, the potential for future expansion to other planets exists, offering players the chance to explore new and visually striking locations.
