Dune: Awakening has experienced a surge in its player base, particularly on Arrakis, following the game's launch on console platforms. This influx of new and returning players was highlighted in the latest Communinet Signal, the game's regular community update. The publication serves as a central hub for community highlights, developer insights, and important news, though it does not feature major announcements.
The recent Communinet Signal #21 specifically showcased various community contributions, including a roundup of recent events, a curated list of player-made tools and websites, fan art, and impressive base designs. It also included a Q&A session, providing players with additional information and insights into the game world.
Community Challenge Update
The ongoing community challenge, titled 'El Sayldam: The Rain of Blood,' was also featured in the update. Players have successfully met all four initial milestones of the challenge. The community is now encouraged to reach a stretch goal of 120 million to unlock an Asteroid Harvester Pistol swatch.
All rewards that have been unlocked through the challenge will be distributed to players starting on October 6th. To ensure receipt of these rewards, players must log into their accounts between October 6th and November 5th. The update did not specify what the initial four milestones or their rewards were, nor did it detail how progress towards the stretch goal is tracked or displayed.
