Dune: Awakening delayed to June

Fans of the Dune universe will have to wait a little longer to venture into Arrakis, as Funcom has announced a delay for the release of Dune: Awakening. The survival MMO, originally scheduled to launch in May, will now arrive in June, as revealed in a recent developer update. Players who have pre-ordered the deluxe or ultimate editions will still get a period of early access.

Funcom attributed this delay to feedback received from beta testers. While disappointing, the news isn't without a silver lining. A “large-scale weekend” playtest is planned for next month, offering a wider audience the chance to experience Dune: Awakening and provide their feedback.

Dune: Awakening was initially targeting an “early 2025” release, and while June might be pushing the boundaries of that definition, it still falls within the first half of the year. The game will first be released on PC, followed by a release on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Unfortunately, a specific console release date hasn't been shared yet.
