Funcom, the developer behind Dune: Awakening, has pushed back the game’s launch by a month after receiving feedback from its beta test. Originally scheduled to release on May 15th, it’s now set to debut on June 10th, according to a statement on their website. This change comes as they gather valuable insights from the ongoing closed beta.
In Dune: Awakening, players are plunged into a unique timeline on the planet Arrakis, where the familiar character Paul Atreides has not yet made his mark, leaving the power dynamics open for gamers to explore.
Funcom expressed gratitude for the beta testers’ input, stating, “The feedback we’ve collected has been crucial in helping us ensure a high-quality launch.” They have nurtured a vibrant Discord community that allows developers to engage directly with testers, facilitating a collaborative effort to enhance the game’s quality.
The company acknowledges the anticipation surrounding the release but reassures fans that these additional three weeks are vital. They believe it provides the necessary time to integrate important feedback, promising a more polished experience from the get-go.
In what seems like an exciting development, Funcom also announced plans for a large-scale beta weekend next month. This will give even more players a chance to dive into the game and offer their thoughts. Details about this event are expected to be shared soon, promising an engaging lead-up to the launch.
