Dune: Awakening Filmic Archive DLC Explained

Funcom is bringing Denis Villeneuve’s cinematic universe directly to Arrakis with the upcoming Filmic Archive DLC for Dune: Awakening. Scheduled to launch on September 22 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, this expansion offers players a comprehensive collection of cosmetics, weapons, and base-building options inspired by both Dune: Part One and Dune: Part Two. The DLC will be available for $9.99.

Movie-Inspired Armors and Outfits
The expansion places iconic apparel from the films directly into players’ hands. Survivors on Arrakis can equip the Aegis of an Unwalked Path Armor, drawn straight from Paul Atreides’ visions of Fremen holy warriors in Dune: Part One, or brave the desert winds in the Caladan Stormcoat worn by Paul and Duke Leto. Combat gear options also include the heavy Harkonnen Cataphract Armor from Dune: Part Two, the classic Atreides Hoplite Armor, and the practical, weathered Longhaul Stillsuit inspired by Gurney Halleck.

Imperial Sardaukar Base Building
For players focused on home base construction, the DLC provides extensive building options themed around the Emperor’s elite military force. Builders gain access to a massive 73-piece Sardaukar construction set to erect formidable fortresses across Arrakis, paired with 17 exclusive Sardaukar decorative items to bring Imperial presence to interior spaces. A Sardaukar Tactical Swatch is also included, allowing players to customize color palettes across their structures and equipment.

Weapons, Gear, and Emotes
Rounding out the package is a full suite of Imperial weaponry and thematic cosmetics. Players can don the Sardaukar Legionnaire Armor, Sardaukar Velites Armor, or the specialized Sardaukar Averruncus Stillsuit. For combat, the set features the Sardaukar Oathblade melee weapon and the Sardaukar Benediction Disruptor ranged weapon. Finally, the collection includes two exclusive character animations: the Sardaukar Kneel and Sardaukar Blood Wipe emotes.

Coming to Xbox Game Pass at Launch
Alongside the console debut on September 22, Dune: Awakening will officially arrive on Xbox Game Pass. Active subscribers on Xbox Series X/S and PC will have full access to the base game starting on launch day, with the option to purchase the Filmic Archive DLC separately to unlock these Imperial cosmetics and building pieces.
