"Dune: Awakening Release Pushed Back Three Weeks"

Dune: Awakening's release has been pushed back by three weeks to incorporate more player feedback. Dive into the details behind the delay and discover what's planned for the game's upcoming large-scale beta weekend.

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 leading up to its launch. However, developer Funcom has decided to allocate additional time to refine the game. On April 15, Funcom took to Twitter (X) to announce that Dune: Awakening's release date would be delayed by three weeks.

Originally slated for a May 20 release, the game will now launch on June 5 for deluxe edition buyers, and on June 10 for the global audience. This decision stems from the valuable feedback garnered during the Persistent Closed Beta. Funcom is committed to delivering a top-tier gaming experience and is meticulously considering every piece of feedback from their beta testers. The additional three weeks, according to the developers, will allow them to "implement improvements that will enhance the gameplay experience from the very first day."

Large-Scale Beta Weekend

While the official release has been delayed, Funcom isn't leaving fans in the lurch. They've planned an exciting large-scale beta weekend next month, offering more players the chance to dive into Dune: Awakening and provide their insights. Stay tuned for more details on this event.

Funcom describes Dune: Awakening as a "beast of a game," a groundbreaking massive multiplayer survival title that introduces unprecedented gameplay and technical features. In the interim, fans can catch livestreams on platforms like Steam, YouTube, and Twitch to get a deeper look into the game’s unique 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 later, yet-to-be-announced date. Keep up with the latest developments by checking out our dedicated article below!
