"Dune: Awakening Release Pushed Back Three Weeks"

Dune: Awakening's release has been postponed by three weeks to incorporate more player feedback. Read on to discover the reasons behind the delay and details about the upcoming large-scale beta weekend.

Dune: Awakening Development Updates

Coming on June 10

Dune: Awakening is on the path to its release date, with numerous events and activities planned leading up to the launch. However, developer Funcom has decided to allocate additional time for development. On April 15, Funcom announced via a Twitter (X) post that Dune: Awakening's release would be delayed by three weeks.

Originally scheduled for May 20, the game will now launch on June 5 for those who purchased the deluxe edition, and on June 10 for the rest of the world. This decision was influenced by the substantial feedback received during their ongoing Persistent Closed Beta. Funcom aims to deliver a high-quality gaming experience and is meticulously considering all feedback from beta testers. The additional three weeks will allow them to "make improvements that will enhance the gameplay experience from day one."

Large-Scale Beta Weekend

Despite the delay, Funcom has exciting plans for players in the interim. They have announced a large-scale beta weekend next month, offering more players the opportunity to experience the game and provide feedback. More details about this event will be revealed soon.

Funcom describes Dune: Awakening as a "beast of a game," highlighting its status as a massive multiplayer survival game with unprecedented gameplay and technical elements. While waiting, players can watch livestreams on Steam, YouTube, and Twitch to get a deeper understanding of the game’s features and mechanics.

Dune: Awakening is now slated for release on June 10, 2025, for PC, with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S releases to follow at a yet-to-be-announced date. Stay updated with the latest news on the game by checking out our article below!
