Dune: Awakening fans, take note: the highly anticipated release has been pushed back by three weeks to incorporate more player feedback. Dive into the details below to understand the reasons behind this 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 the launch. However, developer Funcom has decided to allocate additional time for development. On April 15, via a post on Twitter (X), Funcom announced that the release of Dune: Awakening 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 the global audience. This decision stems from the substantial feedback received during the ongoing Persistent Closed Beta. Funcom is committed to delivering a high-quality gaming experience and is taking into account every piece of feedback from beta testers. The additional three weeks will allow the developers to implement improvements that will enhance the gameplay experience right from launch.
Large-Scale Beta Weekend
While the release date has been delayed, Funcom has planned an exciting large-scale beta weekend next month. This event will give more players the chance to experience the game and provide their feedback. Stay tuned for more details on this upcoming event.
Funcom describes Dune: Awakening as a groundbreaking massive multiplayer survival game, featuring unique gameplay and technical elements. In the meantime, you can catch livestreams on platforms like Steam, YouTube, and Twitch to get a deeper understanding of the game's features and mechanics.
Dune: Awakening is now scheduled to launch on June 10, 2025, for PC, with releases for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S to follow at a later, yet-to-be-announced date. Keep an eye on our updates to stay informed about the latest developments regarding the game!
