Dune: Awakening's release has been postponed by three weeks to incorporate more player feedback. This delay aims to enhance the overall gaming experience. Read on 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 steadily approaching its launch date, with numerous events and activities planned in the lead-up to its release. However, developer Funcom has decided to extend the development timeline. On April 15, via a post on Twitter (X), Funcom announced a three-week delay for Dune: Awakening.
Originally slated for release on May 20, the game will now launch on June 5 for those who have pre-purchased the deluxe edition, and on June 10 for the general public worldwide. This decision was influenced by significant feedback received during the ongoing Persistent Closed Beta. Funcom is committed to delivering a high-quality game and is taking into account every piece of feedback from beta testers. The additional three weeks will allow the team "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 planned an exciting large-scale beta weekend for next month. This event will give more players the chance to experience the game and provide valuable feedback. More details about this event will be announced soon.
Funcom describes Dune: Awakening as a "beast of a game," highlighting its unique position as a massive multiplayer survival game with unprecedented gameplay and technical elements. While waiting for the release, players can watch livestreams on Steam, YouTube, and Twitch to get a deeper understanding of the game's features and mechanics.
Dune: Awakening is now scheduled for release 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 informed about the latest developments, be sure to check out our article below!
