Dune: Awakening Delayed by Three Weeks

The release of Dune: Awakening has been pushed back by three weeks to incorporate additional player feedback. Here are the details behind the delay and the upcoming large-scale beta weekend.

Latest Updates on Dune: Awakening's Development

New Launch: June 10th

With its release approaching, Dune: Awakening has been hosting a series of events leading up to launch. The developers at Funcom, however, have opted for a slight extension. On April 15th, Funcom announced via X (formerly Twitter) that Dune: Awakening's launch will be postponed by an additional three weeks.

Originally scheduled for May 20th, the new release date is set for June 5th for Deluxe Edition purchasers, with the global launch following on June 10th. This decision was driven by substantial feedback gathered from the ongoing Persistent Closed Beta. Funcom is committed to delivering a high-quality experience and is carefully reviewing all player input from the beta test.

The extra development time, according to the studio, is essential for implementing improvements that will enhance the gameplay experience right from day one.

An Upcoming Large-Scale Beta Weekend

Despite the delay, Funcom has plans to keep players engaged. The studio announced a large-scale beta weekend for next month, which will open the game to a wider audience for testing and feedback. More specifics about this event will be revealed soon.

Described by its creators as a "beast of a game," Dune: Awakening is a massively multiplayer survival title that promises to introduce new gameplay and technical innovations to the genre. In the meantime, players can watch live streams on platforms like Steam, YouTube, and Twitch to learn more about its features and mechanics.

Dune: Awakening is now scheduled for release on June 10, 2025, for PC. Launch dates for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S will be announced at a later time. For the latest news and updates, check out our related article below.
