Dune: Awakening enthusiasts will need to wait a bit longer, as the game's release has been pushed back by three weeks to incorporate more player feedback. Dive deeper to understand the rationale 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 on the cusp of its much-anticipated release, with a slew of events and activities planned leading up to launch day. However, developer Funcom has decided to allocate additional time for polishing the game. On April 15, through a post on X (formerly Twitter), Funcom announced a three-week delay for Dune: Awakening.
Originally slated for release on May 20, the game will now launch on June 5 for deluxe edition buyers, and on June 10 for the general public 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 is meticulously considering every piece of feedback from their beta testers. The developers stated that the additional three weeks will provide "the time needed to make improvements that will enhance the gameplay experience from day one."
Large-Scale Beta Weekend
Even with the delay, Funcom has exciting plans for fans. They've scheduled a large-scale beta weekend next month, offering more players the chance to experience Dune: Awakening and provide their insights. More details on this event will be forthcoming.
Funcom describes Dune: Awakening as a "beast of a game," a massive multiplayer survival title that introduces gameplay and technical innovations unparalleled in its genre. In the meantime, interested players can catch live streams on platforms like Steam, YouTube, and Twitch to delve into the game's features and mechanics.
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 later, yet-to-be-announced date. Keep an eye on our updates to stay informed about all things Dune: Awakening!
