Dune: Awakening is ready to deliver an incredible endgame – again. This time, developer Funcom will try to improve on what many players consider a lackluster experience with its Chapter 3 update, which promises "A BIGGER, BETTER ENDGAME."
"When it comes to the endgame, the specifics of what you're looking for varies across both players and player types," Funcom says in a Steam post, "but we've also been able to combine your feedback with cold, hard in-game telemetry." Since the survival RPG released in 2025, Dune: Awakening players have complained of its endgame being hostile to solo players – though Funcom always vowed to improve it. Now, even though the developer admits to GamesRadar+ that "we're not going to please everyone," Chapter 3 at least tries to make players less likely to despondently feed themselves to a sandworm.
"This update is a direct response to the two most common player requests: the desire for a more fleshed out endgame and making it a smoother experience coming back after an extended period away from the game," Funcom explains.
So, Chapter 3 will offer more robust character progression and content options for players nearing the completion of their game. Then, returning players will be glad to know their outstanding taxes have been forgiven – Funcom is abolishing the unpopular tax system, as well as introducing resource "return packages" to help get players who haven't logged in for 28 days comfortable again.
"We believe this update delivers a richer and more engaging endgame in Dune: Awakening, but our work is far from done," says Funcom. "There are many more exciting things ahead, and we look forward to sharing more with you in due time."
