Dune: Awakening's release has been pushed back by three weeks to incorporate valuable player feedback. Dive deeper to understand the reasons behind the delay and what to expect from the upcoming large-scale beta weekend.

Dune: Awakening Development Updates

Coming on June 10

Dune: Awakening is gearing up for its highly anticipated launch with a series of events and activities. However, developer Funcom has decided to extend the development timeline. On April 15, through a Twitter (X) post, Funcom shared that Dune: Awakening's release will be delayed by three weeks.

Originally slated for a May 20 release, the game will now launch on June 5 for deluxe edition purchasers, and on June 10 for the global audience. This decision stems from extensive feedback received during their Persistent Closed Beta. Funcom is committed to delivering a top-tier gaming experience and is taking every piece of feedback seriously. The additional three weeks will allow the developers to refine the game, ensuring a superior gameplay experience right from the start.

Large-Scale Beta Weekend

While the release has been postponed, Funcom isn't leaving fans empty-handed. They've planned a large-scale beta weekend next month, giving more players the chance to dive into the game and provide their insights. Further details on this event will be announced soon.

Funcom describes Dune: Awakening as a groundbreaking "beast of a game," a massive multiplayer survival experience with unprecedented gameplay and technical innovations. In the meantime, interested players can catch livestreams on Steam, YouTube, and Twitch to get a closer look at the game’s unique features and mechanics.

Dune: Awakening is now scheduled to launch on June 10, 2025, for PC, with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S releases to follow at a later, yet-to-be-announced date. Stay tuned to our updates for the latest on Dune: Awakening!
