In Dune: Awakening, a player discovered a secret map, but the location seems completely foreign to him. However, the community knows exactly what it really shows.
What kind of find is this? When Reddit user ChipArcher was exploring the Deep Desert of Arrakis, he set out to loot a crashed spacecraft. This had just crashed in the PvP part of the area and promised a lot of loot for the player.
During his looting, the player found not only items but also a map. However, this does not show a location that the player can recognize. It depicts continents and many seas around them. Whales are also marked on the map.
Here you can see the map for yourself:
Not of This World
What kind of map is this? The community sees the image of the map on Reddit and knows immediately what kind of place it is. The map shown is of the planet Caldan, the home world of House Atreides.
The lush ocean world is largely covered with oceans, in contrast to Arrakis. The seas on the planet are rich in fish and whales, which is why the inhabitants also engaged in large-scale fishing.
The planet has a long history in the Dune universe, and many fans may know it. However, for the players of Dune: Awakening, the question arises: What is the map doing in the game?
What theories do players have? One of the players’ theories is that in the future, there will be a way to travel to the planet Caldan as a sort of expedition. This could be provided by an upcoming DLC, for example. On Reddit, some users fantasize:
- KarateKoala_FTW: “Imagine a Fremen stumbling upon this shipwreck and finding this map. He would recognize that out there in the stars exists a world full of water.”
- cantbeblank: “If this is a new map, even for some off-world missions, I would be happy.”
- An anonymous user writes: “A possible glimpse of a future update map? Please God, if there is one. Make it happen.”
Here you can see what is really happening in the future of Dune: Awakening:
Whether in Dune: Awakening it will be possible to visit other planets besides Arrakis remains to be seen. The upcoming DLCs and their contents are still unknown. Instead, players are frustrated with the latest update: In Dune: Awakening, players laugh about a new feature because it is “delightfully broken” despite a two-week testing phase
