Dune: Awakening's release has been pushed back by three weeks to incorporate more player feedback. Dive into the details behind the delay and get the scoop on the upcoming large-scale beta weekend.
Dune: Awakening Development Updates
Coming on June 10
Dune: Awakening is gearing up for its much-anticipated launch with a series of exciting events and activities. However, developer Funcom has decided to allocate additional time to refine the game further. On April 15, via a post on X (formerly Twitter), Funcom shared that Dune: Awakening's release would be postponed by three weeks.
Originally slated for May 20, the game will now launch on June 5 for deluxe edition buyers, and on June 10 for everyone else worldwide. This decision stems from the valuable feedback gathered during the Persistent Closed Beta. Funcom is committed to delivering a top-tier gaming experience, and they're taking every piece of feedback seriously. The extra three weeks, according to the developers, will allow them to "implement crucial improvements that will enhance the gameplay experience right from the start."
Large-Scale Beta Weekend
Even with the delay, Funcom has exciting plans to keep the community engaged. They've announced a large-scale beta weekend set for next month, giving more players the chance to dive into the game and provide their insights. Details on how to participate will be released soon.
Funcom describes Dune: Awakening as a "beast of a game," a groundbreaking multiplayer survival experience that pushes the boundaries of the genre with its innovative gameplay and technical prowess. In the interim, fans can catch up on the game's features and mechanics through livestreams on Steam, YouTube, and Twitch.
Dune: Awakening is now scheduled for release on June 10, 2025, for PC, with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions to follow at a yet-to-be-announced date. Stay tuned for the latest updates on the game by checking out our article below!
