Dune: Awakening fans will need to wait a bit longer for the game's release as developer Funcom has announced a three-week delay to incorporate more player feedback. Dive into the details of this delay and the exciting large-scale beta weekend planned for the near future.

Dune: Awakening Development Updates

Coming on June 10

Dune: Awakening is on the cusp of its much-anticipated release, with a series of events and activities planned leading up to launch day. However, Funcom, the game's developer, has decided to extend the development period. On April 15, via a post on X (formerly Twitter), Funcom revealed that Dune: Awakening's release would be pushed back by three weeks.

Originally slated for a May 20 release, the game will now hit the shelves on June 5 for deluxe edition buyers, and on June 10 for the global audience. This decision stems from the valuable feedback gathered during the ongoing Persistent Closed Beta. Funcom is committed to delivering a high-quality gaming experience and is taking the time to address every piece of feedback received from beta testers. The additional three weeks, according to the developers, are crucial for "making improvements that will enhance the gameplay experience from day one."

Large-Scale Beta Weekend

While the release of Dune: Awakening has been postponed, Funcom is not leaving players in the lurch. They've announced a large-scale beta weekend scheduled for next month, offering more players the chance to experience the game and provide their insights. Further details on this event will be forthcoming.

Described by the developers as a "beast of a game," Dune: Awakening promises to be a groundbreaking massive multiplayer survival game, featuring innovative gameplay and technical elements. In the interim, players can stay engaged by tuning into 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 for release on June 10, 2025, for PC, with versions 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 all the latest developments with Dune: Awakening!
