Dune: Awakening's release has been postponed by three weeks to incorporate more player feedback. Dive in to discover the reasons behind the delay and what to expect from the game's upcoming large-scale beta weekend.
Dune: Awakening Development Updates
Coming on June 10
Dune: Awakening is gearing up for its launch with a series of events and activities. However, developer Funcom has decided to extend the development timeline. In a post on X (formerly Twitter) dated April 15, Funcom revealed that Dune: Awakening's release will be pushed back by an additional three weeks.
Originally slated for release on May 20, the game will now launch on June 5 for deluxe edition purchasers, and on June 10 for the general public worldwide. This decision stems from substantial feedback received during the ongoing Persistent Closed Beta, prompting the developers to allocate more time for refinement.
Funcom is committed to delivering a top-notch gaming experience, taking into account every piece of feedback from beta testers. The extra three weeks, according to the developers, will provide "the necessary time to implement improvements that will enhance the gameplay experience right from the start."
Large-Scale Beta Weekend
Despite the delay, Funcom has exciting plans to engage players. They have scheduled a large-scale beta weekend next month, offering more players the chance to experience the game and provide valuable feedback. Details about this event will be announced shortly.
Described by the developers as a "beast of a game," Dune: Awakening promises to revolutionize the multiplayer survival genre with unprecedented gameplay and technical features. In the interim, players can catch livestreams on Steam, YouTube, and Twitch to get a closer look at the game's mechanics and features.
Dune: Awakening is now set 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. Stay tuned to our updates for the latest news on Dune: Awakening!
