What's included in the Dune: Awakening Beta?

Dune: Awakening's Beta Weekend includes the following content:

• The first 20-25 hours of gameplay
• CHOAM Building Set
• Hagga Basin South Region
• Eastern and Western Vermillius Gap Region
• Parts of the Act 1 storyline
• Construct and drive a Sandbike
• Early and mid-game combat

Even though it's just a Beta Weekend, this limited-time access offers a lot, with up to 25 hours of gameplay. If you're fortunate enough to gain access, you'll join a server accommodating up to 40 players. During this Beta Weekend, the focus will be on PvE, where you can collaborate to survive or build sandy empires together. However, if you're in the mood for some competition, there will be areas specifically for PvP combat.
