Dune: Awakening Development Updates

New Release Date: June 10

Dune: Awakening is gearing up for its launch with a series of events and activities designed to build anticipation. However, in a recent X (formerly Twitter) post dated April 15, Funcom revealed the decision to push back the release date by three weeks. This move comes after the developers received significant feedback during the Persistent Closed Beta.

The team at Funcom is committed to delivering a top-quality gaming experience right from the start. They are taking this additional time to refine the game based on the invaluable input from beta testers. According to Funcom, these three extra weeks are crucial for "making improvements that will lead to a better gameplay experience from day one."

Large-Scale Beta Weekend

While the release date has been delayed, Funcom is not leaving fans waiting without something exciting. They've announced a large-scale beta weekend set for next month, offering more players the chance to dive into Dune: Awakening and provide their feedback. Details about this event will be forthcoming.

Funcom describes Dune: Awakening as a "beast of a game," featuring innovative gameplay and technical elements unique to the genre. In the lead-up to the release, players can catch livestreams on platforms like Steam, YouTube, and Twitch to get a closer look at the game's features and mechanics.

Dune: Awakening is now scheduled 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. Stay tuned to our site for the latest updates and news about Dune: Awakening!
