Dune: Awakening's release has been postponed by three weeks to incorporate more player feedback. Dive into the details about the delay and the 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 planned leading up to the launch. However, developer Funcom has decided to allocate additional time for refinement. On April 15, via a post on X (formerly Twitter), Funcom shared that the release of Dune: Awakening will be delayed by three weeks.
Originally slated for a May 20 release, the game will now launch on June 5 for those who have purchased the deluxe edition, and on June 10 for the global audience. This decision comes after substantial feedback received during the ongoing Persistent Closed Beta, prompting the developers to enhance the game further.
Funcom is committed to delivering a top-quality gaming experience. They are meticulously considering all feedback and comments from beta testers. The additional three weeks, as stated by 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 is postponed, Funcom has exciting plans in the works. They have announced a large-scale beta weekend next month, offering more players the opportunity to experience the game and provide their insights. Additional details about this event will be released soon.
Described by the developers as a "beast of a game," Dune: Awakening is a massive multiplayer survival game that introduces gameplay and technical innovations unique to the genre. In the interim, fans can watch livestreams on 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 yet-to-be-announced date. Stay updated with the latest on the game by checking out our detailed article below!
