Should I buy Dune 2 right now, or will Dune 3 be released soon?

I've been thinking about buying Dune 2 but I've seen a few posts recently in various forums about a Dune 3 being in beta. Is this correct? I don't really want to buy Dune 2 now if they about to release a big update soon. Does anyone know if they tend to have a cheap upgrade path when they release new versions? Thanks

No idea if it's gonna be released soon, but why not getting it then update with a customer price to the V3 instead of paying the full V3 price?

I would guess it is only a couple more months away. I'd wait, TBH. Especially considering that Dune 3 will be patch compatible with Dune 2 (as far as i understood it), so, there's nothing to lose.
About the upgrade path: They haven't announced anything in that regard.

I’m going to wait I think. I have Wavetable in Live 10 which seems more than capable (more so than Dune 2 you might say) so will stick with that for now I think.

Wavetable is great for sure, but Dune 2 can do lots of sounds Wavetable can't. I just got Dune 2 today and my biggest request for Dune 3 would be "drag and drop modulation"!!

Check with their support if you want to buy from them directly.
Richard gave hints in the charity posts that those who win the bids on Dune 2 might get version 3 discounted or free when released. So, it might apply on current buyers as well. It worth asking IMO.

I suppose that applies to everyone who's got a legal copy of Dune 2.EnGee wrote: ↑Sun Nov 11, 2018 8:51 pm Check with their support if you want to buy from them directly.

Dune 2 wasn't a free upgrade for Dune 1 owners as far as I know. So, I suppose logically there is an upgrade price for Dune 2 owners, unless there is a grace period or I'm mistaken about the upgrade price!
If you mean it will discounted upgrade, sure why not for a period of time!

Yes, after I post it, I noticed that you meant 'discounted' not 'free'fluffy_little_something wrote: ↑Sun Nov 11, 2018 11:48 pm That is what I marked bold, discounted, not free
Anyway, I've got the impression in the charity that Richard meant more than 'discounted' but he didn't say 'free' so I was careful with my words

I won the Dune 2/3 on the charity auction and here is the email Richard sent me
As indicated in the auction text, you have the option to either get a DUNE 2 license right away, or alternative a DUNE 3 license. DUNE 3 is scheduled to be released about
end of November, so you'll need some patience, however you'll get a much better product (in our opinion).
