Dune: Awakening is building momentum toward its release with various events and activities leading up to launch. However, developer Funcom has opted to extend the development period. In an April 15 post on X (formerly Twitter), Funcom revealed that the release date for Dune: Awakening has been moved back by three weeks.

Originally scheduled for May 20, the game will now launch on June 5 for Deluxe Edition purchasers, with the global standard release following on June 10. The developers received extensive feedback from the ongoing Persistent Closed Beta, motivating them to dedicate more time to refining the game.

Funcom is committed to delivering a high-quality experience and is carefully evaluating all input from beta testers. According to the development team, the additional three weeks provide "the necessary time to implement enhancements that will improve the gameplay experience right from launch."

Large-Scale Beta Weekend

Despite the release delay, Funcom has prepared an interim experience for players. The studio announced an upcoming large-scale beta weekend next month, offering more players the opportunity to try the game and share their impressions. Further details about this event will be announced shortly.

The developers describe Dune: Awakening as an ambitious title—a massive multiplayer survival game featuring unprecedented gameplay and technical innovations within the genre. Meanwhile, players can watch live streams on Steam, YouTube, and Twitch to gain deeper insights into the game's features and mechanics.

Dune: Awakening is now scheduled for release on June 10, 2025 for PC, with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions to follow at a later date. For the latest updates and information about the game, explore our related article below!
