As a gamer, I’ve got some news about the highly anticipated open-world survival MMO, Dune: Awakening, which was supposed to drop on Steam this May 20th. However, Funcom decided to push back the release date to June 10th. But don’t fret! We can start our journey into the game a bit early as advanced access begins on June 5th.
Here is the full message from Funcom on the delay:
Dear Sleepers,
We’re approaching an exhilarating phase as our launch nears! We’ve recently kicked off a significant preview beta test, inviting hundreds of media professionals such as journalists and content creators to explore the initial sections of the game. They’ll be sharing their insights and experiences with you all on April 25th.
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been getting ready for something big! We kicked things off in February by unleashing our Character Creator and Benchmark Mode. Then, in March, we started taking pre-orders. To keep everyone updated, we’ve been streaming live events, creating videos, and sharing plenty of details.
Our uninterrupted Closed Beta Testing remains robust, featuring frequent updates, and the input gathered from our beta players has been crucial for delivering a top-notch gaming experience. We’ve got an energetic Discord community where our developers engage directly with the testers to jointly enhance the quality of Dune: Awakening.
Through this method, we’ve realized that by allowing for a little extra cooking time, we can address a greater number of valuable suggestions from our beta testers.
In light of this, we’ve decided to shift the release date for Dune: Awakening to June 10. However, if you can’t wait that long, we’re offering an early start on June 5. We understand your eagerness to play, but these additional three weeks will allow us to make necessary improvements, ensuring a smoother gameplay experience right from the get-go.
Additionally, we’re thrilled since it paves the way for a massive beta weekend event coming up next month. During this timeframe, an even greater number of players like yourselves will have the chance to experience the game and provide us with valuable feedback. Keep an eye out for further updates on this exciting development.
The game titled “Dune: Awakening” is an impressive challenge. It offers multiplayer survival in grand proportions, and we’re pushing boundaries with both gameplay mechanics and technical aspects that are unprecedented within this genre. Our goal is to ensure a successful conclusion to our efforts.
Additionally, remember to catch today’s live broadcast on Steam, YouTube, and Twitch. Our team members will be demonstrating and discussing further details about the combat in Dune: Awakening.
With best regards from the entire Dune: Awakening team here at Funcom
