Hey folks. Gary D. Tour here! Longtime Runagade enthusiast, and your go-to for everything you need to know about Sprint City. Now LISTEN! Before I say ANYTHING ELSE, you need to watch this trailer (below). Yes, right now. Yes, with sound. Yes, full screen. I've been following the scene for years, and today I'm super excited to get to share something groundbreaking: Sprint City is officially announced, and it's coming to Early Access in 2026. Okay. Are you breathing? Do you feel that tingling in your legs? Congratulations!! That's your sprint gene activating!

Now, what is Sprint City, you ask?
Sprint City is a competitive 2D platformer set in a solarpunk metropolis where wheels never caught on, but momentum absolutely did. People here grew up mastering movement itself; the rooftops, the rails, even the alleys are built with that in mind. Everything you see in the city is shaped to keep a run going or spark a new one. Every district you explore is designed for speed. The casual runners stick to the obvious routes. The competitive folks start finding shortcuts and the Runagades… well, they're the ones discovering paths nobody even realized were there. Sprint City is a shared world. You'll see other players show up naturally as you're running, each doing their own thing. Sometimes you'll race them intentionally. Sometimes one of you accidentally sets the other off. That's kind of the charm.

Greetings soon-to-be-awakened, today, just about 72 hours before the floodgates open, we can finally share with you that rentable private servers will be available from head start launch on June 5th! We've previously communicated that private servers are for post-launch, but we're happy to share that progress has been faster than expected. We do, however, want to manage expectations about how private servers work in Dune: Awakening. As you know, this is not your typical survival game.

Why private servers work differently in Dune: Awakening
Dune: Awakening is powered by a unique server and world structure, something we went in-depth on in a recent blog post. In short: each server belongs to a World consisting of several other servers, and each of those share the same social hubs and Deep Desert. This allows us to retain a neighborhood-like feel to the Hagga Basin and provide persistent, freeform building, and other server-demanding mechanics you typically see in survival games. We combine this with the large-scale multiplayer mechanics you would expect to find in MMOs where hundreds of players meet each other in social hubs and the Deep Desert to engage in social activities, trade, conflict, and more.

Greetings Sleepers, we're less than two weeks away from launch of Dune: Awakening (and head start is even closer!). It's time to grab your Fremkit, put on your stillsuit, and start getting ready. The first thing you need to know is exactly when you can start playing. Dune: Awakening will first be available in head start on June 5th for those who have pre-ordered either the Deluxe or Ultimate Edition. Pre-ordering either edition, or the base edition, will also unlock the Terrarium of Muad'Dib pre-order reward.

Official launch is June 10th, at which point pre-orders (and the Terrarium of Muad'Dib reward) will no longer be available for purchase. The base, Deluxe, and Ultimate Editions will be available for regular purchase from that point onwards. The game will unlock for play on Steam at 16:00 CEST / 10am EDT, both on June 5th and June 10th. For other regions, we've included a map above with some select locations to help you figure out when it will be available in your area. Pre-load will be available to all pre-order owners 24 hours before head start on June 4th, but please be aware that pre-ordering the base edition does not grant head start access.
