As the excitement builds for Dune: Awakening, Funcom has announced a significant update regarding the game’s release. Originally slated for an earlier launch, the release date has now been moved to June 10th, with a head start available on June 5th. This decision comes after extensive feedback from beta testers, highlighting the need for additional time to refine and enhance the game.
Why the Delay?
The ongoing Persistent Closed Beta has provided invaluable insights, allowing Funcom’s developers to interact directly with players and gather crucial feedback. This collaborative process has revealed areas for improvement that Funcom believes are essential for delivering a polished and immersive gameplay experience. By taking these extra weeks, Funcom aims to ensure that Dune: Awakening meets the high expectations of its community.
Upcoming Beta Weekend
To further involve the community, Funcom is planning a large-scale beta weekend next month. This event will give even more players the opportunity to experience Dune: Awakening and contribute their feedback, helping to shape the final product.
A Message from Funcom
“We understand that this delay may be disappointing to some, but we are confident that these additional weeks will allow us to make Dune: Awakening the best it can be,” said the Funcom team. “Our goal is to deliver a game that not only meets but exceeds your expectations, and we believe this extra time will help us achieve that.”
