Dune: Awakening's release has been pushed back by three weeks to incorporate more player feedback. Dive into the details below to understand the reasons behind the delay and get a sneak peek at the upcoming 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. However, developer Funcom has decided to extend the development timeline. 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, and on June 10 for the global audience. This decision stems from the valuable feedback gathered during the Persistent Closed Beta. Funcom is committed to delivering a top-notch gaming experience and is taking every piece of feedback seriously. The additional three weeks, according to the developers, will allow them to "make improvements that will enhance the gameplay experience from day one."

Large-Scale Beta Weekend

While the release date has been postponed, Funcom has exciting plans to keep the community engaged. They've announced a large-scale beta weekend next month, offering more players the chance to dive into the game and provide their insights. Stay tuned for more details on this event.

Funcom describes Dune: Awakening as a "beast of a game," a groundbreaking multiplayer survival experience with unique gameplay and technical innovations. In the meantime, fans can catch livestreams on Steam, YouTube, and Twitch to get a deeper understanding of the game's 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 later, yet-to-be-announced date. Keep an eye on our updates to stay informed about all the latest developments!
