Dune: Awakening Release Delayed By Three Weeks

The release of Dune: Awakening has been pushed back by three weeks to incorporate more player feedback. Dive in to discover the reasons behind the delay and details about the upcoming large-scale beta weekend.

Dune: Awakening Development Updates

Coming on June 10

Dune: Awakening is on the brink of its much-anticipated launch, with numerous events and activities planned in the lead-up. However, developer Funcom has decided to allocate additional time for refinement. On April 15, Funcom took to Twitter (X) to announce a three-week delay in the release of Dune: Awakening.

Originally slated for a May 20 release, the game will now launch on June 5 for deluxe edition purchasers, with the global release following on June 10. This decision stems from the substantial feedback received during their ongoing Persistent Closed Beta. Funcom is committed to delivering a high-quality gaming experience and is meticulously considering every piece of feedback from their beta testers. The additional three weeks, as stated by the developers, will provide "the time needed to make improvements that will lead to a better gameplay experience from day one."

Large-Scale Beta Weekend

While the release of Dune: Awakening has been postponed, Funcom has exciting plans to keep the community engaged. They have announced a large-scale beta weekend scheduled for next month, offering more players a chance to dive into the game and provide valuable feedback. More details on this event will be released soon.

Funcom describes Dune: Awakening as a "beast of a game," a groundbreaking massive multiplayer survival game with unique gameplay and technical elements. In the interim, players can stay engaged by tuning into livestreams on Steam, YouTube, and Twitch to learn more about the game’s innovative features and mechanics.
