Dune: Awakening fans, take note: the much-anticipated release of this immersive game has been pushed back by three weeks to incorporate valuable player feedback. Dive in to discover why the delay occurred and what exciting events await during the game's 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 engaging events and activities planned in the lead-up to its launch. However, developer Funcom has decided to allocate additional time for development. In a post on X (formerly Twitter) dated April 15, Funcom shared that Dune: Awakening's release date will be postponed by three weeks.
Originally slated for a May 20 release, 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 substantial feedback received during their Persistent Closed Beta. Funcom is committed to delivering a high-quality gaming experience and is taking every piece of feedback from beta testers seriously. The developers believe that the additional three weeks will be crucial in making significant improvements that enhance gameplay from day one.
Large-Scale Beta Weekend
While the release date has been delayed, Funcom is not leaving fans empty-handed. They've announced a large-scale beta weekend set for next month, offering more players the chance to experience the game and provide their insights. Further details about this event will be revealed soon.
Funcom describes Dune: Awakening as a "beast of a game," a groundbreaking massive multiplayer survival title featuring innovative gameplay and technical elements. In the interim, players can stay engaged by tuning into livestreams on Steam, YouTube, and Twitch to learn more about the game's unique features and mechanics.
Dune: Awakening is now scheduled for release on June 10, 2025, for PC, with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S releases to follow at a later, yet-to-be-announced date. Stay updated with the latest news on the game by checking out our dedicated article below!
