Dune: Awakening Update 1.4, featuring new locations and more, is now available
Before the next major content update centered around the “Polar Cap” map arrives, Funcom is rolling out a slew of new features and locations with Update 1.4. Here’s what’s included.
New overworld POIs for explorers
At the heart of the update are, without a doubt, the new locations to be discovered on the surface. First, there’s the Wind Pass, once a Harkonnen technology hub, now a major hub for Arrakis’s water trade under the control of the water carriers.
And then there’s a new testing station in the old quarry. As a player, you’ll encounter the morally questionable scientist Dr. Jalanta there, who operates out of a hidden lab. Of course, you’ll have to find out for yourself what he’s up to at that testing station.
The update of course brings even more new features, updates, fixes, and more. Be sure to check out the patch notes on Steam.
