Pre-orders are currently open, signalling the proximity of the game’s long-anticipated launch.
Gamers will have the option of three separate editions upon purchase – the standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate editions. Each edition of Dune: Awakening features unique items and offers its buyers exceptional value. Funcom has assured their gaming audience that additional content and updates will be regularly provided to the game, with some features coming at no extra cost and others as optional DLCs. A more detailed breakdown of these versions and their corresponding prices have also been unveiled.
Priced reasonably at $49.99 is the standard edition of the game, while the Deluxe Edition comes in at $69.99, and finally, the Ultimate Edition, packed with the most exclusive items and privileges, carries a price tag of $89.99. Both the Deluxe and Ultimate versions include additional benefits such as early activation, five days before the formal release, a season pass and exclusive virtual items.
