Dune: Awakening Release Delayed By Three Weeks

Exciting news for fans of the Dune universe: the highly anticipated game, Dune: Awakening, has been delayed by three weeks to incorporate valuable player feedback. This decision underscores Funcom's commitment to delivering a top-tier gaming experience. Read on to find out more about the reasons behind the delay and what's coming up with the game's 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 leading up to the big day. However, developer Funcom has decided to take a little more time to perfect the game. In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on April 15, Funcom announced that the release of Dune: Awakening would be pushed back 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 general public worldwide. This decision stems from the substantial feedback received during the ongoing Persistent Closed Beta. Funcom aims to ensure that the game meets the high standards expected by its community, taking every piece of feedback into account. The additional three weeks, according to 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

Despite the delay, Funcom has something exciting planned for eager players. They've announced a large-scale beta weekend next month, giving more players the chance to dive into the game and provide their feedback. Further details about this event will be revealed soon.

Funcom describes Dune: Awakening as a "beast of a game," a massive multiplayer survival experience featuring innovative gameplay and technical elements unique to the genre. In the meantime, players can stay engaged by tuning into livestreams on platforms like Steam, YouTube, and Twitch, where they can learn more about 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 yet-to-be-announced date. To keep up with all the latest updates on Dune: Awakening, be sure to check out our article below!
