Dune: Awakening Delayed To Ensure It’s a Beast of a Game
Funcom has announced a slight delay to the upcoming MMO Dune: Awakening, with the developer wanting more time to create a “beast of a game.” The MMO will now launch on June 10, 2025, for PC, with a PS5 and Xbox Series X|S release expected after.
Dune: Awakening, the upcoming MMORPG based in the Dune universe, has been slightly delayed by developer Funcom, with its launch date pushed back from May to June 10, 2025, with the developer wanting to “launch a quality game.”
Funcom has decided to push the release date back to give the game “a bit more time to cook” as they look to implement changes and act on feedback from beta testers.

Why the Delay?
Announcing the delay on Bluesky, Funcom revealed it was a tough decision to delay the MMO’s launch but concluded that they could make Dune: Awakening “a better game” if they pushed the release back to June 10.
The post on Bluesky continues by revealing the developer’s ambitious plans, pointing to the fact that the game is a “multiplayer survival on a massive scale, and we’re making gameplay and technical strides not seen in the genre before.”
What We Know About the Game So Far
Dune: Awakening is an open-world survival MMO set on the desert planet of Arrakis, where players explore, survive, and discover a vast and dangerous world where Spice conquers all.
Set in a timeline without the Fremen and Paul Atreides, Awakening brings the Dune universe to life like never before. Power is there for the taking, whether you choose to go solo or join a guild. The game features a highly immersive and persistent world for players to master.
New Timeline and What Comes Next
Looking to add more polish to the game, Funcom has chosen to push the Dune: Awakening release date back to June 10, 2025. However, it’s not all bad news, as the game is available to pre-order on PC, with the Deluxe and Ultimate editions offering advanced access from June 5.
A “large-scale” beta weekend will take place next month before the game’s release date. Anyone who hasn’t tried the game yet can sign up for the beta its official site.

Dune: Awakening has been delayed to June 10, 2025, as Funcom aims to refine the MMO before its release. Are you disappointed by this delay? Have you participated in the beta, and are you looking forward to the full game? Share your thoughts in the comments.
