Dune: Awakening enthusiasts, take note: the highly anticipated release of this game has been pushed back by three weeks to incorporate valuable player feedback. Dive in to discover the reasons behind this delay and get the scoop on the upcoming large-scale beta weekend.
Dune: Awakening Development Updates
Coming on June 10
Dune: Awakening is on the cusp of its much-awaited launch, with a series of events and activities paving the way. However, developer Funcom has decided to allocate more time to perfect the game. On April 15, through a post on X (formerly Twitter), Funcom announced a three-week delay in the release of Dune: Awakening.
Originally slated for a May 20 debut, 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 substantial feedback gathered during the ongoing Persistent Closed Beta. Funcom is committed to delivering a top-notch gaming experience and is taking every piece of feedback into account. The additional three weeks, according to the developers, are crucial for "making improvements that will enhance the gameplay experience right from the start."
Large-Scale Beta Weekend
While the release date has been postponed, Funcom has exciting plans to keep the community engaged. They've scheduled a large-scale beta weekend next month, offering more players a chance to dive into the game and provide their insights. Stay tuned for more details on this upcoming event.
Funcom proudly describes Dune: Awakening as a "beast of a game," a groundbreaking multiplayer survival experience with unprecedented gameplay and technical features. In the interim, fans can catch live streams on Steam, YouTube, and Twitch to delve deeper into the game's features and mechanics.
Mark your calendars: Dune: Awakening is now set to launch on June 10, 2025, for PC, with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S releases to follow at a yet-to-be-announced date. Keep up with the latest updates by checking out our article below!
