Dune: Awakening, the highly anticipated massive multiplayer survival game, will experience a delay of three weeks to incorporate more player feedback. Dive into the details below to understand the reasons behind the delay and what to expect from the upcoming large-scale beta weekend.
Dune: Awakening Development Updates
Coming on June 10
Dune: Awakening is on the cusp of its release, with a series of events and activities planned leading up to its launch. However, developer Funcom has decided to allocate additional time to refine the game further. On April 15, via a post on Twitter (X), Funcom announced that the release of Dune: Awakening will be postponed by three weeks.
Originally slated for a May 20 release, the game will now launch on June 5 for deluxe edition purchasers, and on June 10 for the global audience. This decision stems from the valuable feedback received during the ongoing Persistent Closed Beta. Funcom is committed to delivering a top-quality gaming experience and is taking every piece of feedback into serious consideration.
The additional three weeks, according to the developers, will be crucial in implementing improvements that will enhance gameplay right from the start.
Large-Scale Beta Weekend
Despite pushing back the release date, Funcom has exciting plans in the works. They've announced a large-scale beta weekend scheduled for next month, offering more players the chance to experience Dune: Awakening and provide their insights. Stay tuned for more details on this event.
Described by the developers as a "beast of a game," Dune: Awakening promises innovative gameplay and technical elements that are unprecedented in the genre. In the meantime, interested players can catch livestreams on Steam, YouTube, and Twitch to get a deeper look into the game's features and mechanics.
Dune: Awakening is now set to launch on June 10, 2025, for PC. Release dates for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S will be announced later. Keep up with the latest updates by checking out our article below!
