Dune: Awakening's release has been postponed by three weeks to incorporate more player feedback. This article delves into the reasons behind the delay and provides details on the upcoming large-scale beta weekend.
Dune: Awakening is gearing up for its release with a series of events and activities leading up to the launch. However, developer Funcom has decided to extend the development timeline. On April 15, Funcom announced via a post on Twitter (X) that Dune: Awakening's release date has been pushed back by three weeks.
Originally slated for release on May 20, the game will now launch on June 5 for deluxe edition purchasers, and on June 10 for the global audience. This decision stems from the substantial feedback received during the ongoing Persistent Closed Beta. Funcom is committed to delivering a high-quality game and is taking the time to consider all feedback from beta testers. The additional three weeks, according to the developers, will be used to "make improvements that will enhance the gameplay experience from day one."
Despite the delay, Funcom has planned a large-scale beta weekend next month, offering more players the chance to experience the game and provide their feedback. Details about this event will be released soon.
Funcom describes Dune: Awakening as a "beast of a game," highlighting its unique position as a massive multiplayer survival game with innovative gameplay and technical elements. In the meantime, players can stay informed about the game's features and mechanics through livestreams on Steam, YouTube, and Twitch.
Dune: Awakening is now scheduled for release on June 10, 2025, for PC, with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions to follow at a later, yet-to-be-announced date. Keep an eye on our articles for the latest updates on the game!
