Latest Developments for Dune: Awakening
New Release Date: June 10
As Dune: Awakening approaches its anticipated release, developer Funcom has opted to extend development time. On April 15, Funcom announced via Twitter/X that the game's launch would be pushed back by three weeks.
Originally scheduled for May 20, the deluxe edition will now debut on June 5, with the standard version following on June 10 worldwide. This decision stems from valuable player insights gathered during the Persistent Closed Beta, prompting additional refinement time.
The studio emphasizes its commitment to quality, stating the extension allows for "enhancements that ensure an optimal player experience from launch day." Every beta tester's contribution is being carefully evaluated.
Massive Beta Test Event
To bridge the waiting period, Funcom plans a significant beta weekend next month, expanding access for broader player testing and feedback. Full event details will be announced shortly.
Described as groundbreaking for the survival MMO genre, Dune: Awakening introduces unprecedented gameplay mechanics. Interested players can explore live demonstrations across Steam, YouTube, and Twitch platforms.
The PC version launches June 10, 2025, with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S editions following at a later date. For continuous updates, refer to our comprehensive coverage below.
