Livestream Focus: Base Building & More

In a blog post published on the game’s official website on April 23, Funcom revealed that the third livestream will center around one of the game’s most anticipated features: base building mechanics. This segment will give fans a detailed preview of how players can construct and manage their own outposts across the harsh desert world of Arrakis.

Additionally, the developers will showcase several other key systems, including:

• Crafting and resource gathering – essential survival skills in the unforgiving Dune universe
• Story and lore exploration – insights into how the game integrates Frank Herbert’s iconic universe
• The Exchange and Landsraad – economic and political systems shaping player interactions
• The Blueprint System – how progression unlocks new construction and crafting options

This livestream follows the second episode, which focused on combat mechanics, and aims to provide a broader understanding of the game’s survival and strategic elements.

A live Q&A session will conclude the stream, allowing fans to submit and vote on questions for the development team—offering a rare opportunity to get direct answers about the game’s design and future updates.
