Dune: Awakening Development Updates

Coming on June 10

Dune: Awakening is gearing up for its release, with a series of events and activities planned leading up to its launch. However, developer Funcom has decided to extend the development timeline by three weeks. In a recent post on Twitter (X) dated April 15, Funcom announced that Dune: Awakening will now be released on June 5 for those who have purchased the deluxe edition, and on June 10 for the rest of the global audience. This decision was influenced by the substantial feedback received during their Persistent Closed Beta.

Funcom's primary goal is to deliver a high-quality gaming experience, and they are taking into account every piece of feedback and comment from their beta testers. The additional three weeks will allow the developers "the time needed to make improvements that will lead to a better gameplay experience from day one."

Large-Scale Beta Weekend

Despite the delay in the game's release, Funcom has exciting news for eager players. They have scheduled a large-scale beta weekend for next month, offering more players the chance to experience Dune: Awakening and provide their feedback. Details about this event will be announced soon.

Funcom describes Dune: Awakening as a "beast of a game," a massive multiplayer survival title featuring gameplay and technical elements that are unprecedented in the genre. While waiting for the game's release, players can stay engaged by tuning into livestreams on Steam, YouTube, and Twitch to learn more about its features and mechanics.

Dune: Awakening is now slated for release on June 10, 2025, for PC. Releases for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S will follow at a later, yet-to-be-announced date. To keep up with the latest updates about the game, be sure to check out our article below!
