"Dune: Awakening Release Pushed Back Three Weeks"

Dune: Awakening's release has been postponed by three weeks to incorporate valuable player feedback. Dive deeper 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 verge of its much-anticipated release, with a series of events and activities planned leading up to the launch. However, developer Funcom has decided to extend the development timeline. On April 15, via a post on X (formerly Twitter), Funcom revealed that Dune: Awakening's release will be pushed back by an additional three weeks.

Originally slated for a May 20 release, the game will now launch on June 5 for deluxe edition purchasers, and globally on June 10. This decision stems from the significant feedback received during the ongoing Persistent Closed Beta. Funcom is committed to delivering a high-quality gaming experience and is diligently working to integrate every piece of feedback from their beta testers. The additional three weeks, according to the developers, will allow them "the time needed to make improvements that will lead to a better gameplay experience from day one."

Large-Scale Beta Weekend

While the release of Dune: Awakening is being delayed, Funcom has exciting plans for players in the interim. They've announced a large-scale beta weekend scheduled for next month, offering more players the chance to experience the game and provide their feedback. More details on this event will be forthcoming.

Funcom proudly describes Dune: Awakening as a "beast of a game," emphasizing its unique status as a massive multiplayer survival game with unprecedented gameplay and technical features. In the meantime, players can catch live streams on platforms like Steam, YouTube, and Twitch to get a glimpse of the game’s innovative 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. Stay updated with the latest news on the game by checking out our article below!
