The highly anticipated release of Dune: Awakening has been pushed back by three weeks to incorporate more player feedback. This delay aims to enhance the gaming experience, and fans can look forward to a large-scale beta weekend soon. Dive in to discover the reasons behind the delay and what to expect from the upcoming beta event.

Dune: Awakening Development Updates

Coming on June 10

Dune: Awakening is gearing up for its launch with numerous events and activities on the horizon. However, developer Funcom has decided to extend the development timeline. On April 15, through a post on Twitter (X), Funcom announced a three-week delay for Dune: Awakening.

Originally slated for a May 20 release, the game will now hit the shelves on June 5 for those who have pre-ordered the deluxe edition, and on June 10 for the global audience. This decision stems from the valuable feedback gathered during the Persistent Closed Beta, prompting the developers to refine the game further.

Funcom is committed to delivering a top-notch gaming experience, meticulously considering all feedback from beta testers. The additional three weeks, according to the developers, will provide the necessary time "to make improvements that will lead to a better gameplay experience from day one."

Described by the developers as a "beast of a game," Dune: Awakening promises to be a groundbreaking multiplayer survival game, featuring unique gameplay and technical elements.
