The highly anticipated game, Dune: Awakening, has been delayed by three weeks to incorporate more player feedback. This decision aims to enhance the overall gaming experience before its official launch. Dive deeper into the reasons behind the delay and discover what's in store with the game's upcoming large-scale beta weekend.

Dune: Awakening Development Updates

Coming on June 10

Dune: Awakening is gearing up for its release, featuring 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 took to Twitter (X) to announce 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 purchasers and June 10 for the general public worldwide. This adjustment comes after valuable feedback from the ongoing Persistent Closed Beta. Funcom's commitment is to deliver a high-quality game, and they are taking every piece of feedback seriously. The additional three weeks will allow them "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 exciting plans in the interim. They have scheduled a large-scale beta weekend next month, offering more players the chance to dive into Dune: Awakening and provide their input. Additional details about this event will be revealed soon.

Described as a "beast of a game," Dune: Awakening promises to be a groundbreaking massive multiplayer survival game, introducing unprecedented gameplay and technical elements. In the meantime, fans can stay engaged by tuning into livestreams on Steam, YouTube, and Twitch to learn more about the game's innovative features and mechanics.

Dune: Awakening is now scheduled for release on June 10, 2025, for PC. Releases for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S will follow at a later, yet-to-be-announced date. To keep up with the latest updates on the game, be sure to check out our article below!
