Update 1.3

Update 1.3 was released on 3 February 2026 as the second major content update for Dune: Awakening.

Refer to the version page 1.3.0.0 for more information.

Highlights

This update was shaped by the two most common player requests: the desire for a more fleshed out endgame and a smoother experience coming back after an extended period away from the game.

Several features were already introduced in previous patches to make it easier to take a break and return later:

• Increased Bank Storage
• Carrier Ornithopter Cargo Container
• Base Reconstruction Tool
• Character Transfers

Chapter 3 contained two additional improvements in this regard:

• No more Taxes!
• Custom Return Packages every time players return after a break of longer than 28 days.
