"Dune: Awakening Release Pushed Back Three Weeks"

Dune: Awakening, the highly anticipated multiplayer survival game, has been delayed by three weeks to incorporate valuable player feedback. This article delves into the reasons behind the delay and highlights the upcoming large-scale beta weekend.

Dune: Awakening Development Updates

Coming on June 10

Dune: Awakening is steadily approaching its release, with various events and activities planned leading up to the launch. However, developer Funcom has decided to extend the development timeline. On April 15, via a post on Twitter (X), Funcom announced that Dune: Awakening's release date will be postponed 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 the substantial feedback received during the Persistent Closed Beta. Funcom aims to deliver a high-quality gaming experience and is taking into account every piece of feedback from beta testers. The additional three weeks will allow the developers to implement improvements that enhance the gameplay from day one.

Large-Scale Beta Weekend

Despite the delay, 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 experience the game and provide feedback. Further details about this event will be released soon.

Funcom describes Dune: Awakening as a "beast of a game," featuring innovative gameplay and technical elements unique to the genre. In the interim, players can watch livestreams on Steam, YouTube, and Twitch to get a deeper understanding of the game's features and mechanics.

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. Stay updated with the latest news on the game by checking out our article below!
