Funcom is initiating a free trial week for its open-world survival game, Dune: Awakening. Prospective players can access the game for ten hours over seven days, with all progress transferring to the full version if purchased. Concurrently, the game is discounted by twenty-five percent.
This promotion offers greater server access than a previous trial weekend, which had resulted in a temporary doubling of concurrent users. Following that event, player numbers declined to record lows. The developer is likely aiming to replicate the earlier surge in engagement to stabilize the game's population.
The trial promotion follows recent layoffs at Funcom, which the company described as a period of adjustment despite the game being its most significant launch in over three decades.
