Dune: Awakening's release has been pushed back by three weeks to incorporate more player feedback. Dive into the details behind the delay and discover what's planned for the game's upcoming large-scale beta weekend.
Dune: Awakening Development Updates
Coming on June 10
Dune: Awakening is gearing up for its much-anticipated release with a series of events and activities leading up to the launch. However, developer Funcom has decided to extend the development timeline. On April 15, via a Twitter (X) post, Funcom announced a three-week delay for Dune: Awakening.
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 significant feedback gathered during the ongoing Persistent Closed Beta. Funcom is committed to delivering a high-quality game and is taking every piece of feedback into account. The additional three weeks, according to the developers, will provide "the time needed to make improvements that will lead to a better gameplay experience from day one."
Large-Scale Beta Weekend
While the release of Dune: Awakening has been delayed, Funcom has exciting news for fans. They've planned a large-scale beta weekend next month, offering more players the chance to dive into the game and provide their feedback. Stay tuned for more details on this event.
Described by the developers as a "beast of a game," Dune: Awakening is a massive multiplayer survival experience that introduces unprecedented gameplay and technical elements to the genre. In the meantime, players can keep up with the latest developments by watching livestreams on Steam, YouTube, and Twitch, where the game's features and mechanics will be showcased.
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. To stay informed about the latest updates on the game, be sure to check out our article below!
