Guided by a number of conversations, suggestions, and feedback from across the community, Chapter 3 has been designed to provide more meaningful progression and choice in its Tier 6 late-game, completely revamping its end-game.

Chapter 3 will include a redesign to the Landsraad system that offers repeatable activities.

Progress is now earned through selection of activities tied to the Landsraad mission system. Completing these missions provides Specialization progress and multiple other rewards! pic.twitter.com/2wVrh5kCSB

On that note, Dune: Awakening will see a rebuilt Landsraad system, extended Faction ranks, and two progression loops with Specialization and Augmentations working together.

Adding to the experience, this Dune: Awakening update also brings with it five new repeatable Testing Stations and boss fights.

This also ties into different contracts for houses, with different houses having different missions. Broken down into Sabotage, Combat, Gathering, Crafting, and Exploration categories, players can choose to accept any of Dune: Awakening’s new missions on behalf of any house.

Packing the right tools for the job, Dune: Awakening now lets players dual wield knives. While this weaponry does provide for a more aggressive fighting style, it also makes players more vulnerable – tread lightly.

New Imperial Testing Stations are being introduced with the Chapter 3 update.

These feature a unique boss fight and can be completed solo or in a party. They also feature difficulty scaling, which allows you to increase the challenge and rewards granted upon completion. pic.twitter.com/jWP84XNBOh

Dune: Awakening players can also watch the world burn with the new Pyrocket weapon, with blasts fire and provides a toasty AoE.

Dune: Awakening will also see new paid DLC in the form of Raiders of the Broken Lands. Designed with builders in mind, players can take advantage of a number of new decorations and over 70 new building pieces.

Dune: Awakening Chapter 3, alongside its Raiders of the Broken Lands DLC, is set to shake things up more than sandworm with its rebuilt Landsraad system, suite of new building pieces, and wealth of content.
