Dune: Awakening Development Updates
Coming on June 10
Dune: Awakening is gearing up for its much-anticipated launch with a series of exciting events and activities. However, developer Funcom has decided to allocate additional time to refine the game. 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, with the global release following on June 10. This decision stems from the extensive feedback gathered during the Persistent Closed Beta. Funcom is committed to delivering a high-quality experience and is taking into account every piece of feedback from their beta testers. The extra time, as stated by the developers, will be used to "make improvements that will lead to a better gameplay experience from day one."
Large-Scale Beta Weekend
While the release date has been postponed, Funcom isn't leaving players in the lurch. They've planned a large-scale beta weekend next month, giving more players the chance to dive into the game and provide their insights. Stay tuned for more details on this exciting event.
Funcom describes Dune: Awakening as a "beast of a game," a massive multiplayer survival experience that pushes the boundaries of the genre with unprecedented gameplay and technical features. In the meantime, fans can catch livestreams on platforms like Steam, YouTube, and Twitch to get a closer look at the game's innovative 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 yet-to-be-announced date. Keep an eye on our updates to stay informed about all the latest news on Dune: Awakening!
