"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 get the scoop on the upcoming large-scale beta weekend.

Dune: Awakening Development Updates

Coming on June 10

Dune: Awakening is gearing up for its much-anticipated launch with a series of events and activities. However, developer Funcom has decided to extend the development timeline. On April 15, via a post on X (formerly Twitter), Funcom announced a three-week delay for Dune: Awakening.

Originally slated for a May 20 release, the game will now launch on June 5 for deluxe edition buyers, and on June 10 for everyone else worldwide. This decision stems from the substantial feedback received during the ongoing Persistent Closed Beta. Funcom is committed to delivering a high-quality gaming experience and is taking every piece of feedback into account. The extra three weeks, according to the developers, will allow them to "make improvements that will lead to a better gameplay experience from day one."

Large-Scale Beta Weekend

Despite the delay, Funcom has exciting plans to keep the community engaged. A large-scale beta weekend is scheduled for next month, giving more players a chance to dive into the game and provide valuable feedback. Stay tuned for more details on this event.

Funcom describes Dune: Awakening as a "beast of a game," a massive multiplayer survival experience that introduces gameplay and technical elements unique to the genre. In the meantime, fans can catch livestreams on Steam, YouTube, and Twitch to get a deeper understanding of the game's features and mechanics.

Dune: Awakening is now set 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 news and updates by checking out our dedicated article below!
