Dune: Awakening's launch has been postponed by three weeks to incorporate additional player feedback. Here's why the delay occurred and details about the upcoming major beta weekend.
Dune: Awakening Development Updates
New Launch Date: June 10
Dune: Awakening has been building momentum toward its original release date with various promotional activities. However, developer Funcom has opted to extend the development period. In an April 15 social media announcement, Funcom revealed the game's launch would be pushed back three weeks.
The title was originally scheduled for May 20 but will now launch on June 5 for deluxe edition purchasers, with general availability beginning June 10. Feedback from the ongoing Persistent Closed Beta prompted this decision, as the team wants to implement meaningful improvements before release.
Funcom emphasizes their commitment to quality, carefully evaluating all beta tester input. The additional development time will reportedly "enhance the gameplay experience right from launch day."
Massive Beta Weekend Planned
Though delayed, Funcom has prepared an exciting interim event - a large-scale beta weekend next month that will open access to more players for testing and feedback. Further details about this special event will be shared shortly.
The developers describe Dune: Awakening as an ambitious survival MMO breaking new ground for the genre. Players can currently watch gameplay livestreams across platforms like Steam, YouTube and Twitch to learn more about its unique systems.
Dune: Awakening's revised global launch is now set for June 10, 2025 on PC, with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions following at a later unspecified date. For the latest updates, follow our coverage below!
