Dune: Awakening Development Updates

Coming on June 10

Dune: Awakening is gearing up for its much-awaited release, with numerous events and activities planned in the lead-up to its launch. However, developer Funcom has made the strategic decision to extend the development timeline. On April 15, via a Twitter (X) post, Funcom revealed that the release of Dune: Awakening would be postponed by three weeks.

Originally slated for a May 20 release, the game will now be available on June 5 for deluxe edition buyers, and on June 10 for the general public worldwide. This decision stems from the substantial feedback received during their ongoing Persistent Closed Beta. Funcom is committed to delivering a top-tier gaming experience and is taking the time to refine the game based on player input.

The developers have stated that the additional three weeks will allow them to "make improvements that will enhance the gameplay experience from day one," ensuring a polished and enjoyable game for all players.

While the release of Dune: Awakening has been delayed, Funcom isn't leaving fans empty-handed. They've announced an exciting large-scale beta weekend scheduled for next month, offering more players the chance to dive into the game and provide feedback. Details on how to participate will be released soon.

Funcom describes Dune: Awakening as a "beast of a game," highlighting its innovative multiplayer survival gameplay and cutting-edge technical elements that set it apart in the genre. In the interim, players can catch livestreams on platforms like Steam, YouTube, and Twitch to get a deeper look into the game's features and mechanics.

Dune: Awakening is now set 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. To stay updated with the latest news and developments about the game, be sure to check out our dedicated article below!
